How do you make the waist of board shorts smaller? Mine are too big.?

Question

I just bought a pair of the smallest adult size board shorts but the waist is too big and it comes down too much.

How do i make the waist smaller?

Answer 1

safety pin

Answer 2

you could have them altered. that would cost money though. if the have a string or anything like that tie it as tight as possible. if none of those methods work then you could try a safety pin but that may be dangerous in the pool. the best thing to do would be getting them altered because then you're certain they fit.

Answer 3

do they have two holes in the front? if so string a string through them. also u can get them taken in by a professional, they will prob. make the elastic tighter or just bring them in all together. it doesn't have to be expensive, i got jeans taken in for $7. boards shorts are prob. cheaper. just go to a local cleaners and get it done. any profesional can prob. do a good job.

Answer 4

take them in by bunching the back of the waist line together until they fit and then safety pinning, before sewing together.
