How do you secure the end of a belt without belt loops?

[postmanpatscat]

What can you do when there is 6-8" of belt left flapping about eg on a dress without belt loops?

posh or not posh? If not posh, elastic band. If posh, can you make a thin loop from a piece of matching ribbon or cord & sew it on?

posh - the dress, not you. Although if you are posh... I'm not too proud to wear an elastic band!

Hairband.

Same coloured hair bobble.

For a thin belt i use Plaiting bands. The tiny ones for horses manes.Come in a variety of colours so hidden quite effectively.

I just tuck in thin belts, i.e. back under the belt itself. Works fine if it's a casual outfit.

Thin, colourless hair elastic bands from Boots.They are virtually invisible.

Blu tack.

Or elastic thread from places like Hobbycraft for girls necklaces.

I tuck in although I am liking the blu tack and hair bobble ideas

Extra advantage of a hairband is that you then have an emergency hairband
