No but seriously most belts are unflattering unless they sit perfectly on my waist, theyre not meant rlly to sit on a curve like my hips, they ruin my silhouette. Id prefer this to a belt any day
Same girl, same. I have to do mine really tight so that they sit right and I end up not being able to breathe 🤣🤣 so this hack has been a game changer for me 😭❤️
This is seriously life-changing for somebody with a smaller waist and a curvy booty/hips who doesn't sew (ME!). And no, belts are not an option; they cause weird gaps and bunches. Thank you!!
Took me 2 mins and my jeans fit me like a glove! No weird scrunching from elastics, no weird excessive crotch fabric, perfect! Thank you so much for sharing :)
So simple and sensible. Also, to those people who say ‘Why not just wear a belt?’ I would point out that many trousers don’t even have belt loops these days and keeping a belt over the waistband without them is nearly impossible.
Thanks for the straightforward video ! My hands kept cramping 😅 but once I finished, it was all worth it lol . I’m doing this to all of my jeans with gaps now.
thank you so much! i am in that weird age range (14) where my legs are long enough to wear woman’s jeans but my waist is not fitting right. i don’t rlly like belts and this hack had changed the game for me. i’ve done it on all of my jeans and at my first time took a lil while but now i rlly got the hang of it! thanks so much ❤
I can not thank you enough for sharing this amazing hack! I’ve always had a HUGE problem with my Jeans having a major gap in the back bc my waist is a lot smaller than my hips & legs however tried your hack on a new pair of Jeans I thought I was going to have to return & IT WORKED. It worked soooo good I did it to a second pair of Jeans & even a cute Jean skirt! Thank you Thank you thank you. I have wasted SO much money when it came to my jeans bc of this issue.
Genius of an idea! I have used this method on leggings, but never thought to use on jeans. I always resort to the elastic method, but I love this idea better. I will try this on my work slacks next. It gives a much better fit than the elastic method since the drawstrings are not as stretchy. Thank you for posting!
This is a very easy and simple Fix… yet so creative and complimenting !! Thank you! Really Really needed to see this bc a woman with curves and smaller waist line usually have this problem, and you’re Right sometimes a belt jus doesn’t go!💚
thrifted a pair of jeans today and i loved the way they fit aside from the fact the waist was gaping... just tried this though and it worked really well! they fit very comfortably now and sit nicely on my waist.
Where has this been all my life? This is exactly what i had always needed! This also gave be an idea of adding elastics to some of my clothes as well. But this would be good for someone who's weight fluctuates a lot too (not enough to change pant sizes but enough that the waistband fit might fit differently)
Great video! I’m a guy and have this problem as well. I have no butt whatsoever and have a waist gap even with a belt. I can tighten my belt until it’s uncomfortable but it will still feel like my pants are falling down all day and it drives me crazy. I will definitely be trying this hack.
I completely understand what you’re saying, I’ve had the same problem with belts too and this hack has been life-changing for me 🥳 Let me know how you like this method once you try it!❤️
I just bought a pair oversize 90s style jeans that I LOVE - the it doesn’t have a belt loops and it was gapping so badly! Thank you for this! Now I can keep the jeans !!
Yay! Happy to help 🫶🏽🫶🏽 What brand of jeans did you get? I’ve been looking for some oversized 90s style jeans so any recommendations would be appreciated 😭🫶🏽
Oh my gosh you are amazing, i've watched like 5 videos on different ways to do this and your solution is the best (but more than that you were actually fun to watch!) Thank you! :)
Wow that’s a great idea !! I have kinda of the same idea but with elastic and then on one end I sewed a button, the other end has a slit and u just put the put the hole.
I knew i should've looked on TH-cam before swing up my daughter's jean waist. Im going to buy some shoe laces to redo all the jeans. Thanks sis for this hack.
You seem to be such a sweet mom 🥹 and don’t beat yourself up about it - better late than never - at least now you know 😉 Lmk how it goes once you redo her jeans 🫶🏽
Thank you so much! I'm a really skinny guy and belts are okay but they make the jeans look ugly when I tuck in my shirt. I hadn't been able to use an amazing pair of jeans I'd bought until this moment! Thanks again 👍🏻
i finally did this after the year or two that has passed since I saw that viral tik tok video. Got tired of my pants doing what they do today and it led me to this video and I can’t believe how big a difference this made for me. so glad i took the time to sit and do this 😭😭😭😭
Haha ik what you mean. It took me time to finally do this as I honestly couldn’t be bothered but once I tried it and it changed my life, I had to share it!! Such an easy, underrated hack! I’m glad you’ve found it helpful too 🫶🏽
Thank you! I'm gonna do this. My jeans ALWAYS gap,even after taking in the waist and I'm tired of asking my mom who sees to alter. This may be the answer to my prayers🎉😂
OMG i was struggling with my loose jeans waist until i saw your video. took me 3 minutes to tighten and now i can wear my jeans with no problem at all, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! 🫶🫶
Definitely! I have some slacks that actually have a drawstring inside of them and lots of sweatpants come with a drawstring inside the waistband as well. Plus, if the finished product doesn’t work for some reason, you can just get rid of the string and stitch up the holes as long as you only put them on the bottom layer of non visible fabric.
Love that you made this video ❤ I did it but tweaked it a little bit. I only put the string through the backside of the pants and tied knots where the holes are. Wayyy more comfortable!
I definitely need this magic shoe string to upgrade my life right now. Lol 😉 But yes this hack came in a clutch. I was half way in and a half hour on the sewing method and just had to tap out. This worked in less than 10 mins!!! Thank you I will be fabulous for sure now. You're gurl!! 😘😘
Thank you! I just altered a pair of jeans and jean shorts that were too big in the waist. This was easy and inexpensive. Thanks for fixing my life. New subscriber here.
Thanks for this! Pro tip, use a metal straw! I didn’t have a safety pin & for some reason my Bobby pin kept getting stuck. I put the shoe lace through a metal straw and got it through in less than a minute!
Thanks for sharing!! I have some jeans that needed to be taken in & this hack will definitely save me sometime finding a tailor/seamstress I trust & like, my old tailor retired before the pandemic. It's hard to find a good tailor/seamstress that doesn't charge you almost as much as the item you bought from the store. Definitely a game changer!! 💕
I definitely know what you mean. Some of these tailors have insane prices. This hack has been so handy, I’ve not needed to take in any of my jeans lately which has been great!😄 I hope you try this hack - let me know how you like it if you do ❤️
Yes!!!!!!!!! I love the final results. P.S. Why you didn't just wear a belt? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't help myself. Either way, to answer that, sometimes the belt gathers the material in the back and it looks bulky so it ruins the outfit 🤷🏾♀️
No but seriously most belts are unflattering unless they sit perfectly on my waist, theyre not meant rlly to sit on a curve like my hips, they ruin my silhouette. Id prefer this to a belt any day
Same girl, same. I have to do mine really tight so that they sit right and I end up not being able to breathe 🤣🤣 so this hack has been a game changer for me 😭❤️
And most of them aren't designed to really cinch any way - not without looking like a horse harness.
@@wipjenni LMAOOOOOO 💀💀
Same😭
Wish this was my problem 😢. If I wana have pants that fit my bottom, my waist is always pinched off 😞.
this is SUCH a life hack for people with big hips/ thighs but a smaller waist, Thanks girly!
Ikr???? I just had to share as it’s been soooo life changing for me! Hope it helps you too ❤️
So true I hv big butt n its irritating to have jeans sitting like tht
yess !! :3
Wiooooow thankx for sharing Doll 💓
Literally me because it goes over my butt so you very slightly and then when it comes to my waist it just is baggy
This is seriously life-changing for somebody with a smaller waist and a curvy booty/hips who doesn't sew (ME!). And no, belts are not an option; they cause weird gaps and bunches. Thank you!!
You’re welcome! I thought I’d share as it’s been literally life-changing for me too!❤️
Right!?
Took me 2 mins and my jeans fit me like a glove! No weird scrunching from elastics, no weird excessive crotch fabric, perfect! Thank you so much for sharing :)
You’re so welcome! I’m so happy to hear you found this helpful ❤️❤️
@@FashionWizardryI just came across your video after realizing how easy it was to takes in my pants waist I ran for my pants. Thanks so much.
I love it!!
They need to start making all jeans and pants already with drawstrings.
Totally agree with you. I'm a super skinny person and it gets difficult to choose suitable jeans.
So simple and sensible. Also, to those people who say ‘Why not just wear a belt?’ I would point out that many trousers don’t even have belt loops these days and keeping a belt over the waistband without them is nearly impossible.
Thanks for the straightforward video ! My hands kept cramping 😅 but once I finished, it was all worth it lol . I’m doing this to all of my jeans with gaps now.

Definitely! I have some slacks that actually have a drawstring inside of them and lots of sweatpants come with a drawstring inside the waistband as well.
