I have several outfits that come with seperate belts. The problem is even when editied down their smallest using Stretch, they are still too big. My avi's waste is not ridiculously small. Does anyone make belts that are truly adjustable to fit any size?

I think what she's running into is the belt thickness. As she tries to reduce it's size via stretch, she hits the minimum size limit.
I can see a way to make it work though... using a solid flattened cylinder, something shaped like a coin, instead of a tube or a hollowed out cylinder. The bulk of the cylinder will be inside the AV, not visible. You would want to skew it just a tad, into an oval (we aren't perfectly round). Then it can be adjusted for different body sizes. Only the outer edge needs to be visible.
Brenda, since your belt is stretchable, it's obviously mod permission. If you increase the thickness of the belt, you should be able to reduce it's overall size further than you have. Example, if you double your thickness, you should be able to reduce it further by an additional 50%

Belts on the jacket layer always fit perfectly
Not many of those, though.

Go in Edit Linked Parts instead of just stretching the whole thing as one piece. So then you can select just the part you need alone, and modify/fix its sides to your waist.

If it has buckles and small details, those could be the parts stopping you from shrinking too - if they're already as small as they go, the whole lot won't go smaller. If you modify just the belt loop, be aware you might have to reposition any decals afterwards. Alternatively, you could enlarge the smaller decorations WAY out of proportion, then shrink the whole lot so it fits, then shrink the little bits back down to tiny - that ought to keep them in place. Keep 'stretch both sides' selected so you don't go wonky, and make sure you're working on a copy not the original, if poss
