Hem / Shorten Your Garment

Simply take a safety pin, fold the garment to the length you’d like, and pin the length with a safety pin. This can be done with anything you want shortened; denim, pants, dresses, sleeves, etc.

If it is a denim hem, please let us know if you would like to keep the original hem.

Take the Waist In

With the pants on, pinch the amount you would like to take in. Give a partner two safety pins, and have them place one pin on each side of the amount you have pinched. If the pants have a lot of fabric that needs to be taken in at the waist, refer to the next picture for instructions.

Take the Waist and the Seat

Give your partner three safety pins if the pants are extra big in the waist. Have them pinch the fabric up until the pants are fitted at your seat. Place one safety pin horizontally at the base.
