Where can I find elastic belting?

This isn't an article, it's a cry for help!  For years I made belts out of elastic belting, usually with figure-8 clasps.  For someone like me, whose size goes up and down continually, it's essential!  Rather than buying new clothes when I lose weight, for instance, I can wear a fashionable-looking elastic belt over almost any dress or top!  It's also useful for replacing a worn-out waistband in a skirt.    No one sells this belting any more - I can't find it in my mid-sized city, nor on line!  Does anyone know of a source?

Also, I go to the local thrift shop and buy cast-off belts. Then I cut off the hardware and wash the belting - it comes out like new and ready to make into my own fabulous belt just right for me.

Good luck! Mary Ellen
