How do I widen a pair of Trousers?
Have you bought a pair of Trousers that are too small or put on a bit of 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 find out here how to bring lightness to your Trousers and your life!
A bath and shampoo for your Trousers
If your aim is just to gain a few centimetres, plunging your Trousers into a bath could be enough!
To do this, use warm water and shampoo or conditioner. The idea here is to stretch the fibres of the fabric.
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 by rolling them up in towels (not by hand, this is important).
Finally, let them air dry and cross your fingers that the waistband has expanded slightly!
Add pieces of fabric to enlarge your Trousers
If you want to widen your Trousers by more than 2 or 3 centimetres, you're going to have to start sewing!
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 colour as your trousers or, on the contrary, ose originality with a completely different fabric which will bring style and uniqueness to your outfit.
You'll find inspiration from the great couturiers. Don't be afraid of the faux pas and put your creativity on display.
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!
