How can I make the crotch of my jeans bigger?
The first common and quick fix to try is to simply lengthen the crotch depth by slashing across the pants front at the hip and adding the appropriate amount of length. This simple pattern alteration maintains the shape of the crotch curve but just makes it a little longer.
How do I adjust the depth of my crotch?
To add to the crotch depth, go up about 3 inches, to about the middle of the crotch curve, and draw a line across the pattern, again staying perpendicular to the grain line. Cut that line all the way across. You can make this modification to the pocket at the same time, if you wish!
How do you fix tight crotch pants?
What do you do if your dress pants are too tight?
Easy Fix for Too-Tight Pants Find the back seam of your pants (which often has a belt loop over it) and cut straight down from the waistline. This will give your pants enough stretch to wear them with a shirt covering your waist until you can buy new pants (and, probably, hit the gym).
Why are my pants tight in the crotch?
It is because denim and trousers especially in slim cuts have shorter rises so they sit low on the hips. The rise is the measurement from the crotch to the top of the pant waistband. So the top block is tighter across your hips, rear and thighs plus the short rise.

A short inseam will also make your pants look like high waders. If you can’t find an inseam that fits your measurements, you can lengthen an existing inseam in a pair of pants by dropping the hem and stitching a new one back onto the cuffs.
How do I fix the crotch of my pants?

Can you stretch dress pants?
If you need to stretch out your pants a lot, stretch them out using water. If you only need to loosen them a little, expand your pants while you wear them by doing some simple movements like squats and putting objects in the waistband.
How should dress pants fit in the crotch?
The crotch of your pants should fall smoothly against your own. Any pulling material means it’s too tight. Meanwhile, the rise of your trousers is the distance between the top of the waistband and the fork in the crotch (for those with a deeper familiarity with tailoring, the formula is outseam – inseam = rise).
