how do you make the waist band of pants larger?

Question

I have a pair of jeans that I truly love but i need about one more inch on the waist.

Answer 1

undo part of the band at the back ,undo any darts which are in the back of ther pants for shape .,match up the colour of the pants with a piece of similar material and cut the length you want and the width of the band you already have. cut the band across and take one end of the new piece of material and sew to one end of the band ,do the same with the other end ,now fold the band down like the rest of the band and sew the pants together again. if the waist is too short for your new material you may need to take the whole band off first and let out all the darts front and back and then sew it back together

Answer 2

Unfortunately, when you have to make the trousers larger, it is difficult ... What I have seen people do in that case is to buy some material that is comparable to the blue jean color.. take it to a tailor shop.. the tailor shop takes out the seam running down the rear of the trousers(the buttocks area) and then inserts the piece of material that is comparable....

1:Stretch them when they're wet.
2: Wear them low while your sitting at home with the button undone. A few days should do it.
3: Go buy some bigger pants so you don't start feeling bad about yourself.
4: Get a BIG Belt buckle to hide the button being undone.

Answer 4

I'm sure someone handy with sewing could insert some elastic in the waistline in an un-noticeable location to make them slightly larger.

Answer 5

Jog around the block. Repeat if necessary until pants fit.

Loop a rubberband through the buttonhole, expands the waistband! When my friend was pregnant she bought a bellaband from bellaband.com:) Hope one works for you:)
