Cummerbund resizing

[Eryckdraven]

Hi Friends,

I’ve had this suit for about four years now, and after losing a bit of weight, it’s not fitting quite the same. The cummerbund in particular looks a little off, and the upper thighs of the flight suit are looking a bit baggy.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for adjusting the fit or making it look right? I’d really appreciate the help!

Depending on how handy you are with a sewing machine (and you really don't need to be all that handy), it shouldn't be too hard of a job to downsize the cummerbund.  This tutorial may help

For the flight suit, figure how much you want to take the legs in, turn it inside out and run a stitch down the outside of the leg that tapers from the waste down to the opening at your foot.  Turn it right side in and you’re done.

The images isn't loading for me so I can't see the CB. What I did on mine is sew in another 2" strip of velcro on the "inside" part so the overlap has a bit more to grab onto. That bought me some extra time and flexibility before I make a new/smaller one.
