Anonymous

Good afternoon Madam
Myself Shalini from India. Hope u r safe and be always....
I am am Engineering student and we have uniform in our college. Blue colour shirt and pants witj overcoat reaching just the waist area. My problem is with the tailored pants. It is forming creases around the waist area especially the crotch area. Daily I iron the pants before wearing. But soon after wearing them and just sitting the wrinkles reappear which i feel horrible. Also the pocket lining is white as usual. Just when i bend, the pockets get pop out and my friends laugh at seeing this. Also, as it is white in colour I cant wear it for more than two days. I cant avoid the pockets. Any solutuon for this madam.....please reply

Hello Shalini and Welcome to the forum!
Sorry about the pocket problem.
If you don’t need the pockets to be functional, first fix would be to sew them shut. The wrinkles across the waist area may be because the fit is not the right one for you. I understand they are uniform pants and you may not have a big choice in size or rise. Perhaps other forum members can help here. Best to you!

Hello Shalini, I second everything Madeline has said, I also sympathise with your dilemma.

Hi Shalini! It's really frustrating when a uniform piece doesn't fit properly! Not much to be done about the wrinkles, unfortunately, but as madeline said, sewing pockets shut can be a quick fix to that problem. If you have access to a tailor, they might be able to take in trousers a size larger to solve the fit problems and be custom-sized to you.

Another vote for stitching the pockets shut. That might help with the wrinkles too.

Thanks for the answers....but as I told earlier sewing the pockets is not possible. We need pockets for keeping our engineering accessories and all. Also, i have tried this on one of my pants which i wear at home. Actually much pressure is building up on waist and crotch area and stitching goes off soon.
Regarding sizing up, it was increased last year to maximum. Now no access at the back area or thighs.

Can you have the lining of the pocket replaced with a darker color lining?

Replacing the pocket lining is a good option. But it really costs more I think so. Actually the whole stitching must be removed for replacing it. I dont understand why the tailors always use contrasting fabrics for pockets especially white pieces.
BTW the uniform is cotton and polyester mix material and pocket is pure polyester material.

Do you have to tuck in your shirt? Could you wear a longer one?
