Elastic w/ buttonholes

I bought some 1/2 in wide elastic with buttonholes in it. I know for
what purpose I bought it, but for what is it intended? I bought it to
make extensions on those days I BLOAT and my pants don't fit; is that
the purpose?

A very good use! I'm currently living on the stuff (expanding waistline
due to pregnancy). Also useful in childrens clothes in the waistline.

My maternity trousers have the elastic free at both left and right, with
a button each side for adjustment - the first thing I did was sew the
ends of the elastic down so it won't vanish into the waistband when I
unbutton it!
