#Tailors of the fediverse! I have here a pair of trousers that I really like that is unfortunately massively too large for me.

The legs can stay as wide as they are, I don't mind that, but the waist has to be narrower.

By 16 cm (don't ask).

That's 8cm on each side of the centre back seam. It will leave enough room between the pockets, I measured (about 6cm). But.

Is that even doable, or will that absolutely butcher the proportions and fit of the trousers?

I don't mind the waist being much narrower than the legs (au contraire – the illusion of a slimmer waist is always welcome), but it would be unfortunate if i.e. the front of the trousers started pulling away in all directions weirdly.

And if that's too much, how much do you think I could take it in?
