How do I enlarge a jacket?
Your jacket is a little tight, but it's so beautiful.
Rest assured, there are techniques for making clothes and jackets in particular, bigger! 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 make your jacket just a centimetre or two bigger, you can simply unstitch all the pieces and use any margins that already exist. This represents some work but is still 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 favourite dressmaker
We're not going to lie to you, making a jacket bigger is much more restrictive than making it smaller. The shoulders, for example, are a very difficult area to work on and some alterations are simply impossible.
If you're keen on this jacket, perhaps the best thing to do is contact your favourite tailor. At Tilli, we have a whole team of Tailors at your disposal. Contact us and tell us about your project. We'll be able to define the best solution so that your jacket can embrace your waist without being distorted!
