Abstract:

A shoulder strap organizer operative to secure the shoulder straps, either in the front or back of a garment, particularly a child's garment, in place, preventing their falling off the shoulders which results in loss of garment support. The shoulder strap organizer is provided with hook and pile or similar release-fastening material, to permit it to form two loops, which are fully adjustable around each of the shoulder straps. The body of the shoulder strap organizer is typically a nylon web material which can be washed when desired. It is a convenient aftermarket item which can be used with any garment that has shoulder straps. The preferred use position for a child is in the rear, making the child less aware of its presence and less likely to remove it. An adult user may wear it in the front where it is more easily affixed.
