Having jeans tailored?

Question

I was wondering about... well that. I'm 5'9" and only 105lbs so it's basically impossible for me to find jeans that fit good and that are long enough. They're always too baggy in the back thigh/butt area.

If I brought slightly baggy jeans that were long enough to a tailor, would they be able to make it tighter in that area?

Or can they only to the waistband area?

If (hopefully) they would be able to make them not baggy, Do you think they would still look normal?

And how much do you think it would cost? Thanks.

Years ago, when I had an amazing figure :) a 22 inch waist and 34 inch hips, it was really hard to get jeans to fit me properly too. As well as being small, I also have an abnormally short pelvic girdle, which means all jeans would hang down baggily in the butt.

I was in the Levi's store trying on their different styles when the store manager told me that if I wanted to wait to get jeans, she could take my measurements and send them to the factory, and I could have jeans made custom tailored to my form. So I asked her how much it would cost, and she told me that there is no extra charge for doing that..it's just the wait period which needed to be endured, which would be 6 to 8 weeks.

I have no idea whether they still offer this service to their customers. I ended up not having to take her up on it because I found that the super slim fit jeans fit me quite well.

i think that they should be able to do something about it.but they might need to twick some other things on the jeans to make them fit right. not sure how much that would cost cause it all depends on where you go.
