Dear friends, thank you for watching. I hope now your jeans fit you better than ever before. The most common questions: 1. Do I make it with both sides? - Yes, both sides. 2. If I'm so skilled why not sew new jeans by individual measurements? - I don't recommend sewing jeans at home with a home machine. Only professional machines. 3. Are you russian? - Thank God, no.

Update: I did it! Took in a pair of size10 jeans to a size 8 using this method. I had to take off more further down the leg as they were too big on my hips and thighs too but with a bit of tweaking they fit great. You can’t even tell I altered them. So chuffed. I couldn’ have done it without your excellent demonstration. Thank you 🤗

I'm gonna have to try this! I'm a pear too, S-sized in the waist and L-sized in the hips so 95% of store bought jeans fit awkwardly. I did take in jeans before but it looked bulky and only got rid of a few centimeters. This looks very clean, hopefully it'll work for me, thank you very much! (Side note though why do most brands just not make pants for this body type lol.)
@shanicejamila812 жыл бұрын
Most brands are European owned and therefore make clothes to fit the average European. It's like how Asian brands seldom make xl and XXL sizes.

When people ask me to just "quickly take these pants in" for them, I'll send them this video. It's a very helpful video! But most people think you just sew some darts in maybe? To make clothing fit you perfectly, it takes more work than most people expect.

I cut open the waist band from the inside and sew a length of strong elastic on the inside. It takes 10 mins and if you don't mind the back being scrunched up a bit like there is an elastic in there it works super well

Thank you for this!! Im going to try it out hopefully soon. I have a hugeeeee problem with buying jeans... Im not pear shaped really, I dont have a ton of hips or anything, I have more of an athletic shaped body, subtle curve from waist to hip... But as my mother always used to say, I have a "bubble butt". Wouldn't guess it if I was facing you straight on, but when I turn to the side its a big difference. I typically wear a size 3 in jeans but not only does the waist nevER fit right, I also get bagging right under my butt in the upper leg part of the jeans. I have no clue how to fix it. My butt doesn't gradually blend into my thigh, theres sort of a shelf and my legs are not in proportion with my butt at all. I have a small frame everywhere else besides my butt. If the entire leg of the jeans isn't too big, its just the upper thigh/part right under the butt of the jeans. I wish there was a tailoring class near me lol

Could you in theory take in the back centre seam same as sides aswell?. Or is the back seam harder to get looking smooth? Youd want it to be smooth or it would look awfull. I have a big butt at back, not so much at the sides. Great video thanx. I like how you cut the waistband closer to the back too.
@bonnieprater51243 жыл бұрын
Most likely, the reason she is doing elastic is that if she took in the back waist to fit as well, she wouldn't be able to get it over her hips, even with the zipper fully open. A truly fitted pair of jeans/pants/trousers would need a side zipper or possible two depending on the difference between waist and hip measurements.
