The problem of too short jeans can be relevant both for tall girls who did not take into account the issue with length when buying things online, and for those whose favorite pants "sat down", visually shortened. Solve it is not difficult.

It is necessary to wet the jeans and, without letting them dry to the end, lay on the ironing board. Then cover the pants with gauze on top so as not to spoil the quality of the fabric. Jeans lying on the ironing board should be gently pulled in the right direction while simultaneously ironing over the iron. Thus, you can extend the jeans by 2-4 centimeters.

Well, the most banal, but no less effective option - just try to stretch the jeans in different directions. Ask someone to help you and pull the leg and belt each over. After a while they will surely reach out.

If there is no one to help, and jeans need to be stretched very urgently, then a slightly different option will suit you. Wet the jeans with cold water and, without drying them to the end, put a few laces into the belt, pulling them off at the waist. Tie your shoelaces to a sturdy object so that you can easily pull the legs to yourself. Stretch jeans is recommended every hour for a few minutes until dry.

Tight pants can also be stretched wide enough quickly. One of the most effective ways is to use an iron with a steam mode. In this mode, proglazhivaetsya jeans belt.

Having fixed the device in width, gradually increase the length of the expander. Reaching the desired point, leave the jeans dry.

If desired, this expander can be replaced with a suitable-sized thing, for example, a board.

It is important to remember that stretching jeans in this way will only achieve short-term results. After the very first wash, the size of the jeans will become what it was originally.

And finally, the easiest way is mechanical stretching of denim. Here you have to work. Firstly, above all, to put on their small size jeans.

To enhance the effect, you can wear warm tights under the jeans, which will create the effect of additional volume. Next time without tights, it will be easier to pull on jeans.

It often happens that jeans fit perfectly on the waist, but at the same time they are not enough in the hips, or vice versa. In this case, you need to "conjure" over individual zones, increasing them.

Most often, girls do not have enough volume in calves, waist or belt. If you need to stretch jeans in one of these zones, then you can use a proven method - wet or spray them with water.

If the jeans are small in your hips, it is not critical. Jeans should either be initially soaked in water, and then pulled over, or first get into jeans and take a dip in them. Under the influence of water the fabric will stretch, sitting down on your figure.

The advantage of this method is that with such stretching you will get exactly the result you need. But at the same time there is a danger that you will be allergic to paint, which is painted denim. Another unpleasant moment is that jeans can stretch out not only in the waist and belt, but also on the knees, which, of course, can spoil the look of things.

The same method is also suitable for stretching jeans in the belt area. But in addition to the "water procedures" to increase the jeans in the belt, you can use a button and a small piece of gum. The button must be sewn to the belt opposite the one that has already been sewn.

Of course, you don’t have to walk like that all the time - the design is temporary. Just a couple of hours to walk, pulling both buttons with a rubber band, and the result will be noticeable. When the fabric is stretched a little, fasten the jeans and sit down a few times to reinforce the stretch effect.

You can stretch denim pants in calves by sprinkling the lower part of the leg and repeating the above-described procedure of ironing and stretching the heated denim.
