Benefits of technology

The patent aims to provide a solution for keeping clothes in place during windy weather and events. The invention provides a set of weights that can be placed on the front, back, right side, and left side of the garment to hold it in place. This ensures that the garment stays secure and protects the wearer from wind exposure.

Problems solved by technology

The drawback of garter belts is that they are uncomfortable; as they are tightly attached to ones leg.
Garter belts are noticeable and therefore lose the sophistication one would want to obtain when attending formal outdoor events, such as weddings.
The drawback of these products are that they do not add the weight desired to keep ones garment from being lifted which can lead to unwanted exposure and embarrassment.
