How do I widen a pair of trousers?
Have you bought trousers that are too small, or put on a little weight and feel super tight in them? Tilli says no to too-small trousers! Nothing justifies feeling uncomfortable in your clothes, not even fashion. So discover here how to bring lightness to your trousers and your life!
A bath and shampoo for your trousers
If your goal is only to gain a few inches, plunging your trousers into a bath might just do the trick!
To do this, use lukewarm water and shampoo or conditioner. The idea here is to stretch the fabric fibers.
You can leave your trousers in the water for as long as you like, but at least 30 minutes.
Then rinse your trousers and wring them out in towels (not by hand, this is important).
Finally, let them air dry and cross your fingers that the waistband has widened slightly!
Add pieces of fabric to enlarge your trousers
If you want to widen your trousers by more than 2 or 3 centimeters, you'll have to loop the loop!
And what we suggest is inserting pieces of fabric in the relevant places, such as at the waist or at the thighs.
To do this, you can choose a fabric with elastane, to bring some comfort to your trousers.
Choose it in the same color as your trousers or, on the contrary, ose originality with a completely different fabric that will bring style and uniqueness to your outfit.
You'll find inspiration from the great sewists. Don't be afraid of a faux pas and put your creativity to the test.
So we'd be delighted to help you feel comfortable in your trousers.
And for those of you who are interested, you should know that you can also shrink your trousers!
