That awkward blouse gap? Just CleveIt!
The reusable fix that closes shirt gaps in seconds with zero sewing, no safety pins, no visible hardware.
Close the gap before anyone notices.
Your favorite blouse shouldn’t open at the worst moment. CleveIt uses a pin like button to hold the fabric together in seconds, and no one will notice that your blouse has an added button! reusable again and again.
How It Works:
Snap. Closed. Done.
Your blouse gapes when you sit down. Your shirt pulls open when you reach.
Your favorite top fits everywhere except between two buttons.
You shouldn't have to size up, sew it shut, or spend the day checking your shirt.
This is the problem
It's not your shirt's fault. Most gaps happen because the buttons sit slightly wider apart than the fabric wants to hold, especially at the chest, bust or belly. One good stretch and it opens right back up, in the most unpredictable situations: at an important meeting, in front of your customers, or at a formal dinner.
Here's the fix
CleveIt closes that opening and keeps it closed. Simply slide the top CleveIt piece through both of your button plackets and snap the backing from the inside of the placket.
CleveIt stays put and your shirt gap shut until you decide otherwise.
How to use it
1.
Find the gap
Usually between two buttons at the chest, bust or belly, wherever your shirt tends to pull.
2.
Slide it
in
Slip the top part of the CleveIt half through the top and the bottom button placket on your shirt, where the gap is visible.
3.
Snap it shut
Adhere the backing second half on the inside of your shirt. The two pieces together and hold.
4.
Forget about it
Smooth the fabric down and go about your day. Sit, reach, move around, and CleveIt stays put until you take it out.
A few things worth knowing
Most shirts only need one, placed at the widest point of the gap.
Gaping in more than one spot? Add another Cleve-It wherever you need it.

For Every Shirt That Almost Fits

The chest or stomach pull that shows up in slimmer cuts, closed so smoothly no one can tell it was ever a problem.

Back-to-back meetings, long shifts, whatever the day throws at you, your shirt stays closed.
formal wear
Weddings, interviews, photos. The one day you really don't want a gaping shirt stealing the show.
travel
Small enough for a wallet or bag, for wardrobe emergencies nowhere near a sewing kit.
everyday wear
Casual button-downs, layered outfits, wherever a gap decides to show up.
That Shirt Problem? We Know It.
If you've searched for any of these, you already know the feeling.
Your blouse gapes the second you sit down. It's not you, it's the buttons. They sit slightly wider apart than the fabric wants to hold, especially at the bust. Cleve-It closes that extra space instantly, without changing the fit anywhere else.
Gaps keep opening up between your shirt buttons. Usually at the chest, stomach, or back, especially on slim or fitted cuts. Place a Cleve-It at the widest point of the gap and it holds.
You're tired of safety pins ruining your shirts. Pins puncture fabric, snag on things, and dig into your skin. Cleve-It holds the same closure without a single hole, a real alternative to safety pins for shirts.
Your chest gap shows up in every photo. It's the most common, and most visible, shirt gap there is. Cleve-It sits right at the gap point, hidden behind the fabric, so your chest stays smooth under anything you wear over it.
Your button-down looks perfect until you move. Slim through the shoulders and chest usually means a gap somewhere. Add a Cleve-It between the two nearest buttons and the pull disappears, no sizing up required.
From Monday Meetings to
Saturday Weddings
Shirt gaps don't check your calendar. Neither should your fix.
Monday Meetings
Sit, present, reach for the coffee, your blouse or shirt stays closed the whole time.
Big Presentation
One less thing to think about while you're focused on everything else.
Weddings & Formal Events
Photos happen fast. Your shirt should already be handled.
flights and hotels
Pack one in your bag and stop thinking about wardrobe malfunctions on the road.
the unexpected pop
A button gives out, a seam shifts, Cleve-It gets you through the rest of the day.
every industry
Retail floors, hospitals, corporate offices, wherever you're wearing a button-down.
One Shirt Gap. Four Fixes.
What's the Catch?
There are plenty of ways to deal with a gaping shirt. Most come with a catch.
Cleve-it
Hidden behind the fabric. Reusable. Snaps in and out in seconds. No sewing, no pins, no adhesive.
Safety Pins
get the job done, but they can puncture fabric, catch the light under thin fabric, and dig into skin.
Fashion Tape
Works for one wear, then it's done. Can leave residue and doesn't always hold up through a long day of movement.
Sewing it shut or tailoring
The most permanent fix, and the most permanent commitment. Takes an appointment, a skill, or both, and it changes the garment for good.
Cleve-It is the only one of the four that's reusable, invisible,
and requires nothing permanent.
No sewing kit, no tailor, no drawer full of pins.
Small Enough to Carry. Smart Enough to Keep.
One CleveIt, a lot of shirts, for a long time.
How it's used Slide one half through the fabric at the gap, close it with the second placket and snap the second half from the inside. Full step-by-step instructions are in the How It Works section above.
Reusability This isn't a one-and-done fix. CleveIt is designed to hold its strength through regular use, so one CleveIt can move from shirt to shirt for a long time, not just one wear.
Compatibility CleveIt works with most everyday woven shirt and blouse fabrics, including cotton, cotton blends, and linen, polyester, rayon, etc.
Care Wipe it down and keep it in your purse, wallet, your travel carry on.
For Everyone Makes a great gift and accessoire for anyone that appreciates elegant and classy looks, and quick wardrobe fixes.
Before You Buy, Here's What to Know
What is CleveIt?
CleveIt is a button pin fastener that closes gaps in shirts and blouses without sewing. It sits behind the placket, invisible from the outside, and holds the fabric closed wherever a button gap opens.
How does CleveIt work?
CleveIt makes use of two halves. One sits on the top layer of the fabric and the other on the buttom/behind - they snap together through the material to hold the gap closed. It takes seconds to place and stays secure through normal movement.
Will CleveIt damage my clothes?
No. Imagine a safety pin going through your fabric. Only it is not ugly, and not visible. It's simply a button pin. It works in seconds, compared to minutes for tape or sewing.
Is CleveIt reusable?
Yes. A single CleveIt can be used across many different shirts and blouses. It isn't a one-time-use product like fashion tape.
Does CleveIt work on all fabrics?
CleveIt is designed to work through shirt and blouse fabrics, including cotton, linen, cotton blends, polyester, silk, rayon, etc.
Can men and women both use CleveIt?
Yes. CleveIt works on women's blouses and men's dress shirts alike, anywhere a shirt gap fastener is needed between buttons.
How many CleveIts do I need?
You'll need at least one. But most people order 3-5 at a time (to have in different bags, to gift and to have as a back up to close another unforeseeable gap.)
Is CleveIt visible under my shirt?
No. Cleve-It sits behind the placket and under the top layer of fabric, so it stays hidden from the outside.
How do I clean or care for CleveIt?
Simply wipe clean, store it in your sachet, your make-up bag or your wallet.
Is CleveIt safe to wear all day?
Yes. CleveIt is designed to be worn comfortably for a full day, through sitting, reaching, and normal movement, without pinching skin the way a safety pin can.
Is CleveIt better than safety pins or fashion tape?
CleveIt is a reusable, no-mark alternative to both. Safety pins can be painful and ugly, and fashion tape only works once. CleveIt snaps into place and can be used again and again.
Can I travel with CleveIt?
Yes. It's small enough to carry in a wallet, bag, or dopp kit, making it a travel-friendly clothing fix for wardrobe issues on the go.
How do I fix a blouse gap?
Just CleveIt! Place the button in line with the other buttons along your shirt's button placket (top) and adhere it through the bottom placket to close the gap, then snap the backing onto the button pin on the inside. Done. The button pin holds the layers of the shirt placket together and closes the opening.
How do I close a shirt gap without sewing?
Use CleveIt: no needle, thread, tape, or tailoring required. It is a reusable fastener that closes the gap in seconds and can be repositioned as needed.
How do I prevent a blouse from gaping?
Sometimes fabric pull is unavoidable, but you must be prepared. Keep a CleveIt in your bag, desk, or travel kit and close the gap before it becomes noticeable.
What can I use instead of a safety pin?
CleveIt! Safety pins can look obvious and ugly, show visible metal bars. CleveIt closes the gap discreetly from behind the fabric - no hardware showing.
Why We Made CleveIt [KLEEVE-it]
Every Good Fix Starts with an Annoying Problem
Ours began on a stage.
Our inventor was standing in front of hundreds of people when her blouse gaped open at exactly the wrong moment. Looking back, it's a funny story. In the moment, it was stressful. That day CleveIt was born. To CleveIt [verb]: to stick, cling, or adhere closely.
It's a problem almost everyone has had: a favorite shirt or blouse that won't stay closed when it matters most.
Simple by Design:
We built CleveIt to be simple: one small closure, made to be used again and again, for as long as you need it.
• No subscriptions
• No single-use inserts
