The only issue I can see if is the material has raveled and shredded so much that not enough is left to turn under as before. Can you share a screenshot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/undoing-a-released-hem#post-2126735 Thu, 11 Jun 2020 08:58:35 +0000 Vildy 2126735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see why someone who could hem a pair of pants couldn't hem those.&nbsp; I don't know what was there originally but I would generally prefer a hand done hem over machine, except in stretch knits or denim where machine is more customary.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/undoing-a-released-hem#post-2126730 Thu, 11 Jun 2020 07:44:05 +0000 Minaminu 2126730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not an expert but depending on the fabric, the holes of the stitches may be visibles even when removed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/undoing-a-released-hem#post-2126725 Thu, 11 Jun 2020 04:42:42 +0000 athaenium 2126725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Question about (re-)hemming:</p> <p>I'm considering purchasing a pair of pants on theRealReal that happen to have had their hem released by a "professional tailor" (or so they say). Unfortunately, I'm not really into that look, but the pants are a steal at the price and I want to buy them anyway. So, my question is, is it easy enough to undo (re-hem) a released hem, and would it be possible for a good tailor to make the hem of the pants resemble their original, store-bought condition?<br /> Thanks! </p>
