Shorten your trousers - how to get the right length

A professional seamstress will tailor the shortening to your requirements to give you the best possible result. Before you order a leg shortening, it's important to consider your shoes and belt. This means that you should measure the length you want with your shoes on and, if necessary, your belt. This will ensure that your legs are just the right length.

If the trousers to be shortened are new and are made of a material that shrinks in the wash, you should wash them before shortening or leave some shrinkage room. This will ensure that the sleeves stay just the right length in the future.

A professional seamstress can also make more complex shortenings, such as special stitches. They will also be able to avoid most of the mistakes that might occur in a self-made shortening. Sending trousers to a professional seamstress through Menddie therefore guarantees a high quality and durable result.
