RELATED APPLICATION [0001]The present non-provisional application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/816,520, entitled "WAIST CUFF," filed Jun. 26, 2006, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND [0002]1. Field [0003]Embodiments of the present invention relate to devices for positioning clothing on a wearer's body. More particularly, various embodiments of the invention provide a resistive waist cuff operable to be at least partially positioned around a wearer's waist to position clothing thereon. [0004]2. Description of the Related Art [0005]Belts have long been used to suspend or position clothing on wearers' bodies. Typically, belts entirely surround and envelop wearers' waists through the use of buckles or other latching elements. Although belts may adequately support wearers' clothing, they often are time consuming to configure, require manual dexterity to use, interfere with wearer movement, fail to properly fit garments to wearers, and obstruct or damage supported clothing. Consequently, conventional belts suffer from a number of disadvantages. SUMMARY [0006]Embodiments of the present invention provide a distinct advance in the art of clothing positioning devices. More particularly, various embodiments of the invention provide a resistive waist cuff operable to be at least partially positioned around a wearer's waist to position clothing thereon. [0007]For example, in some embodiments, the present invention provides a waist cuff comprising a main body including first and second terminal ends. The main body may be at least partially comprised of a resistive material and present a semi-circular orientation such that a gap is formed between the terminal ends. The main body is operable to be at least partially positioned around a wearer's waist to position a garment thereon. [0008]It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not necessarily restrictive of the invention claimed. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the general description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
