How do I enlarge a jacket?
Your jacket is a little tight and yet it's so beautiful.
Rest assured, there are techniques for enlarging garments and more specifically, jackets! Phew, let's take a breath and have a look at it all together.
Take advantage of existing margins to gain greater ease of use
If you want to enlarge your jacket by just a centimeter or two, you can simply unstitch all the pieces and use any margins that already exist. It's a bit of work, but one of the easiest solutions.
Add pieces of fabric to enlarge your jacket
One possible option is to affix pieces of fabric in certain strategic places to enlarge the overall ease of the jacket. Select the fabric consistently to match that of your original jacket, or if that's not possible, to ensure a harmonious blend.
Be creative!
Call on your favorite sewist
We're not going to lie to you, enlarging a jacket is much more restrictive than making it smaller. The shoulders, for example, are a very difficult area to work on, and some modifications are simply impossible.
If you really want this jacket, perhaps the best thing to do is contact your favorite sewist. At Tilli, we have a whole team of Tailors at your disposal. Contact us and tell us about your project.
