A waistband extender comprises a plurality of joined loops, at least a portion of at least one of the loops being substantially composed of a material having elastic properties. At least one loop, an engaging loop, is configured to engage a waistband button. A remaining portion of the waistband extender is configured to thread through the buttonhole with which the button mates. A second loop within the remaining portion of the waistband extender engages the button, thereby securing the waistband's button/buttonhole combination, while providing a greater separation than the button/buttonhole combination alone normally would provide.
