I have two pairs of Reebok Play Dry tight running capris that were not cheap. They are starting to fall down when I am jogging. They are a medium, and I am not a small. I am just now fitting into a size 10. Any suggestions on how to keep then up? I am only halfway kidding, because I really cannot afford new workout clothes!

    Hand stitch them? Like, you could gather it a little on each side and bring them in, then handstitch it shut?

    I would take them to a tailor. The stretchy material can be tricky to sew by hand I think. It's worth a shot, I know those aren't cheap.

    Gain weight hahaha!

    Kidding. Can you open the seam and pull the elastic tighter and stitch?

    Try rolling the top once or twice - helped me with some of my running shorts. Ohhh, also with my jeans when I've had issues with them sliding off my hips on the dance floor.

    do you have enough at the waist to turn them into drawstring pants?? i have done this with a pair of favorite sweats before. you dont have to be supper great at sewing...get some stitch witchery and fold down the top edge enough to fit a string and iron--- instant drawstring pants.
