My skinny jeans are perfect on me, but wide on the calves! how do i shrink that part only?

Question

Instead of being "skinny-legged" at my calves, their kind of wide and look like boot cut jeans.

but i love skinny jeans and this pair was cute and expensive!

how do i shrink the jean thats near the calf?

Answer 1

Take them to a cleaners who does alterations.

Answer 2

I don't think you can just shrink one part of the jeans. I think resewing it would be the only option.  

Answer 3

I would just recommend taking them to a professional tailor. But make sure you explain that it is just in the calve area...

Answer 4

oh my gosh i just bought a pair like that its like some fattie strected out the calves! i would return them at the store for another pair!

Answer 5

return them

and look around in different stores, since their sizing are all different

Answer 6

Theres nothing you can really do, and I suggest not trying any wierd methods.

I deffinately suggest bringing them back and finding a different pair, since they were so expensive.

You wouldnt want to try shrinking only the upper part and ruining them.

Answer 7

It can't be done via washing machine so your best bet is to get it altered by a tailor.

Oh and chances are, that are the way they are made.  See, a lot of stores sell "skinny-legged" jeans, which are skinny legged in a way, but they do not taper as much as other brands.  For example, express sell skinny legged jeans, but they are not skin tight at the calf.   But they are called skinny because they are slightly narrower than the straight leggged jeans they sell.

Answer 8

You have too sew the inseam, or get it tailored.

Thats how i usually do make my skinny jeans.

Turn them inside out, and sew them.

Answer 9

You have to tailor them.  Geta seamstress to either pull the seam, recut and resew.  You could also take in the inner or outer part of the leg yourself.  Put them on inside out, baste a loose stich in along where and how tight you want them.  Gently pull of and either cut and resew ore sew at basting and then sewing in the excess to one side.

Answer 10

you cant, but you can probably go to the tailor and have them taken in at the calves.

good luck! :]

Answer 11

I agree with the others.  Take them back to see if it's just your pair, if it's not a tailor would be your best option.  A good tailor will make it look like you bought them that way and won't change the seam!

Answer 12

You can have that part taken in by a tailor..

or you can just do it yourself.

Good luck. =]

Answer 13

you could go to a tailor and get them fitted but that will cost you money. if you don't want to spend the money on a tailor you could try doing it yourself.
