So, I have a pair of Antwerp dojo's in a size 31(normally wear a 29/30). They are loose at the waist and I was wondering what would be the best fix for this (tailoring, shrinking (but how)? Kinda scared to get them tailored because they could get ruined. Any advise, please!!!

Antwerps do not shrink well. I'd either have a good tailor alter the waist, deal with them as-is, or sell.

I had mine altered, and they turned out great.

Do I just tell the tailor to take in the waist? How did you do yours? Thanks!

Try them on in front of her; show her how big the waist is, and anywhere else you want altered. I always have the waist, hip, and thigh taken in, because I have chicken legs, LOL.

They will pin them where you want them altered to, then alter them from there. They usually put dart-like stitches on the back sides; it's very unnoticeable. My tailor gets the stitching perfect too; you can't even tell from the outside.

Thanks so much!!

I really wish I could find another pair of antwerp's in my real size, then I'd have two!!
