I think maybe you could experiment to see if the pills come off before decided to alter or not. If the alteration is a small and inexpensive one, maybe worth it, but if it would cost a lot, maybe it's better to get new pants that fit your new self.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pilling-clothing#post-1058357 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:49:27 +0000 bella 1058357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My experience with trousers is that pilling between the thighs will lead to further damage and eventual tears in fabric. Not worth altering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pilling-clothing#post-1058356 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:48:30 +0000 Jjsloane 1058356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae recommended using a disposable razor on pilling ponte and I tried it with some success (not back to original sleekness, but not as noticeable). If the pants are in good condition otherwise and the spots are not noticeable I'd go for it and get them altered.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pilling-clothing#post-1058355 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:44:45 +0000 rute 1058355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same problem! My things rub the trousers, that's why I prefer jeans!<br />I don't think you should alter, as, with time, the pilling will get worse.<br /><span></p> <p></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pilling-clothing#post-1058291 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 09:49:39 +0000 krishnidoux 1058291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it was a favorite with your old body, but will it be with the slimmer you once it's altered?<br />It's time to discover a shape that suits your new one. Alterations are costly, then what if that pilling prevents you from feeling your best in them? What if they don't feel as wow with your actual body?&nbsp;<br />I would get a new pair for this year, but still keep the pilled ones in case your body goes through changes again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pilling-clothing#post-1058224 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:25:22 +0000 gill 1058224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a little device that remove some of the little pills, but the fabric is never quite the same. I've just learn't to live with it especially if it is an item that I really like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pilling-clothing#post-1058190 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 04:57:53 +0000 elpgal 1058190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it was a favorite pair, I would live with it.
