How do I enlarge a garment?
Have your clothes shrunk in the wash? Perhaps they went into the tumble dryer by mistake? Yes, at first glance, that sounds pretty catastrophic! But fear not, with a bit of luck, this careless mistake will be nothing but a bad memory after reading this article.
A good bath to relax the fibres
We explained it to you in our article devoted to jumpers that have shrunk by mistake, the first step in trying to make a garment bigger, is to give it a good bath!
Dip it in warm water with shampoo or conditioner. Leave it to soak for about thirty minutes, then rinse and lay it out. You can wring it out by wrapping it in towels. But don't wring it out by hand.
This will allow the fibres to relax and recover a few centimetres!
Larger jeans
When it comes to jeans, it's more or less the same principle, except that here you're invited to take a bath... in your jeans. Yes, yes, this is no joke!
Immerse yourself in the bath, in your jeans, for about fifteen minutes.
As soon as you're out, get on with your workout for the day with an hour of squats, in your wet jeans!
We admit it's not very comfortable, but it should work!
You should know that the opposite also works, if your jeans are too big, take a look at this article instead!
The last chance
If, despite the baths, your clothes haven't returned to their original size, then you may need to go through the sewing process. And here, we advise you to call on one of our Tillistes. They'll be able to tell you which solution is best suited to your situation! For example, you might need to add material to the sides.
