How to Smaller an Oversized Waist on Legging

How to alter the oversized waist on legging? If it an elastic waistband, then it will be super easy to make them a couple of inches smaller. You don't need any understanding of garment pieces and construction but you need to know some basic knowledge of simple stitches like slipstitch and whipstitch to get it done.

In order to save ourselves the tailoring fees or the cost of new leggings or pants, we should try to do something on it! Am I right? I have done something to smaller the oversized waist on my legging. It looks so nice and fit my waist size now.

Before you get started, find out how many inches you want your waist to be. In this post, I will show you how to alter the waist size by reducing two inches at both left and right sides of the waist on legging. Let's go through the steps below.



To begin, lay your legging flat with the right side out as shown in the photo. Align the front and back middle lines and pin it in place.


Using a pin to mark both sides where you need to do the alterations.


Push the pin inwards about one inch deep (can slightly more than one inch) as shown in the photo. Then, flatten the inner fold to create an inverted pleat and pin it in place.


Slipstitch the pleat. How many inches long should you slipstitch the pleat? It depends on how wide is your waistband. The width of my waistband is about one inch wide, so I slipstitch the pleat slightly more than one inch.


Now, turn to the wrong side of the waistband. You will have a box pleat here. You need to do a final finishing. It is so simple, what you need to do is to slipstitch or whipstitch the two sides of the box pleat so the pleat stays in place neatly.


Da! Da! Done!
