  • Try cutting your elastic 4-6 inches smaller than your waist. You want it to fit snugly without pinching.
  • It should be 2" smaller than the actual measurement. Perhaps you're not measuring the waist in the right spot. The waist should be wherever you (or the person you're sewing for) comfortably lets the waistband on the clothes fall and not the anatomic waistline
  • I would measure it to fit loosely, then pull it tight and measure again, then split the difference.
