Oversized pants definitely have a space in my closet, but nothing beats a properly slimmed pair of pants. When it coming to tapering your dress pants it couldn't be easier to accomplish this alteration for yourself, for a friend, or for clients. If anything in this video needs more Elaboration let me know on any of my social channels!

Perfect, thank you very much! Update: Altered my pants for the first time and they came out pretty nice. I love when clothes fit how they should. Thank you for showing how it works :) Next step for me: Altering a shirt, shortening those sleeves.

Your videos are great. My husband is 95 and I find that I still want him to look nice IF we venture outside of the home. All of his suits are really large on him now. Your videos helps me to do better with men's clothing, only his clothing. I'm a seamstress of long ago. I use to deal with adult clothing but not any more. Just sticking to Novelty items for my Grand Daughter. Thanks again for your easy to follow videos they are so, so easy to follow. You make every alteration look soooo easy.

Most helpful, thank you. I managed to follow the steps to take in my 2y old grandson white dress pants for an upcoming wedding in 3wks. The steps were easy to follow but working with 100% polyester fabric was a pain, but I got the job done well in the end, big thank you from Brisbane Australia 🌻

Thanks for this, how did you see theough polyester? Because for me, my machine missed stitches whenever i sew through polyester. What machine did you use? What needle, thread, and settings?

wow looks so simple. im definitely going to try this with my next pair just for fun. BTW would you be willing to make a how to video for attaching a zip hood to a wool jacket? i've been eyeing this wool jacket for a while but i want to attach a hood with zippers to it. zip on, zip off. just to be more versatile but i have no idea how to start it. maybe this is something on your radar in the future?

I tried to taper in a pair of jeans, and I tapered it in right around the knee, but I was left with what felt and loosely looked like riding pants.. Are there any rules to follow in regards to how much you need to taper along the height of the pant based on how much you taper in by the ankles?

I’ve been having a nightmare of a time with a pair of trousers. The back of the legs have around 1” more fabric than the front. The front is also lined in the thighs and also has a liner in the crotch. No matter what I do, I can’t get a clean result without fabric bulging in the knee lol

When you say "do this on each side", do you mean inseam and outseam, or just the outseam?

Hi Louis ! I'm a new sub, just found you a couple weeks ago. Thoroughly enjoy your vids; lots of great info that is actually useable(!!). My grandpa was a tailor in NYC in the 30 - 40's; used to work on Lady Bird Johnson's gowns, grandma said. You know, these Sicilian old school tailors...mad skills! I'd love to know what fabric your jacket is made of? It's a perfect choice for that style, I think. The fit & workmanship is impeccable, btw...translates beautifully across the screen. Well, my dear, I will continue watching you & growing in my skills. Thx for making these vids. God bless you & yours.

Amazing demo. Thank you. Maybe you could help me how to shorten tapered trouser. There’s many on how to slim/tapered jeans/pants that it’s saturated on KZfaq and none yet did how to shorten tapered trousers yet. It’s difficult to shorten tapered trouser and it’s common to find that the new hem allowance has a shorter circumference than the pant leg it needs to be sown to. If the trousers are significantly tapered, you’ll need more than easing to prevent puckers along the stitching line. Looking forward to your demo.

I should have some posted on that soon! But it’s actually very simple. Whenever you get to the finished hem line radically transition the taper in the opposite direction on the excess fabric that gets tucked up into the hem.

Curious, what if the waist is also big? My son needed a suit for a competition at school and the jacket fits great but the slacks are just all around big. I’m running out of time and I got it, a Tommy Hilfiger suit, for a great price. I’m comfy tapering the legs but worry about the waist. I don’t want to screw up the slacks completely. 😂 Also would be cool if I could alter with the option to re-wear next year since he’s only wearing for two days. Any tips? Thanks in advance 😊

Love this question. In short you need to ease out the bottom and probably make your taper in the leg more gradual to avoid any major change in leg circumference.

At 1:25 he measures 1/2 inch from the current seam and states it would be 1 inch on each side or 2 inches total. From that I conclude he is doing both sides, the inseam and outer seam.
