Elastic Change: Renew and Improve Your Garments with Alter Ego
Elastic plays a crucial role in the comfort and functionality of many garments. Over time, elastic can lose its stretch, become worn out, or even break, affecting the fit and wearability of your clothing. At Alter Ego, we specialise in comprehensive elastic change services to renew and improve your garments. From replacing worn-out elastic to adjusting the fit, our skilled tailors handle all types of elastic alterations with precision and care.
Comprehensive Elastic Change Services
Replacing Worn-Out Elastic
Waistbands: The elastic in waistbands can lose its elasticity over time, making your pants, skirts, or shorts uncomfortable to wear. We replace worn-out elastic with high-quality, durable elastic that restores the comfort and fit of your garments.
Cuffs and Ankles: Elastic cuffs and ankles on sleeves and pants can stretch out or break. Our experts replace the elastic in these areas to ensure a snug and comfortable fit.
Underwear and Lingerie: Elastic in underwear and lingerie can wear out quickly due to frequent use and washing. We replace the elastic in these delicate items to restore their fit and comfort.
Swimwear: The elastic in swimwear is crucial for maintaining a secure fit. We replace worn-out elastic with chlorine-resistant, durable elastic to ensure your swimwear stays in place and feels comfortable.
Adjusting Fit with Elastic
Adding Elastic: For garments that need a better fit, we can add elastic to waistbands, cuffs, or other areas. This adjustment ensures your clothing fits snugly and comfortably, enhancing your overall look and feel.
Customising Elastic Tightness: If the elastic in your garments is too tight or too loose, we can adjust it to your preference. Our tailors ensure the elastic provides the right amount of stretch and comfort.
Elastic Panels: For added comfort and flexibility, we can insert elastic panels into garments. This is especially useful for maternity wear, activewear, and other clothing that requires extra stretch.

Outdoor Gear: Elastic in outdoor gear, such as jackets and pants, needs to be robust and durable. We use high-quality, heavy-duty elastic that can withstand the rigours of outdoor activities.

Can I Change Elastic Myself?
While it is possible to perform basic elastic changes at home, professional services are highly recommended for achieving the best results. Here’s why:
Precision and Skill: Professional tailors have the expertise to replace elastic precisely, ensuring a perfect fit and professional finish. They understand the complexities of different fabrics and garment constructions, which is essential for high-quality elastic changes.
Appropriate Tools: Professional alteration shops are equipped with specialised tools and machines that ensure elastic is securely attached and properly aligned. Home sewing machines and tools may not handle the intricacies of various fabrics and elastic types effectively.
Time Efficiency: Changing elastic can be time-consuming, especially for those unfamiliar with tailoring techniques. Professionals can complete the work efficiently, saving you time and ensuring the alterations are done correctly.
Quality Assurance: Professional tailors guarantee the quality of their work. If there are any issues with the elastic change, you can return to the tailor for adjustments, ensuring your garment fits perfectly.
