    Default Can smaller jeans be tailored to fit a larger person?

    My girlfriend gave me some super cute jeans that are a couple sizes two small. Can a tailor deconstruct it and add some material at the seams to enlarge them enough for me?

    Also, how expensive are tailors typically?

    It would be very difficult for them to do it. I've never gone to a place that would. I know to get my pant legs shortened and the butt /thigh area pulled in, it costs me about 20.

    That makes me bummed but I think I'll be able to make some cute skirts out of a couple since it's the thigh parts that don't really fit. However while googling tailor and jeans I found this:

    makeyourownjeans.com

    I think eventually I'm going to have some made for me.
    I'm tired of being the demoralizing task of jeans shopping.

    It is highly unlikely, jeans are one of those things that you can take in but can't really take out. However, there are some really cool things you can make out of pants that are too small. Or if they are designer and you don't want to just cut them up, sell them?
