Do any of you guys know if it's somehow possible to make the rise on a pair of trousers higher? I recently got a nice 20s suit, with two pair of trousers, that fits quite well. Except for the fact that it was clearly made for someone with a shorter torso than me; there's about a .5-1" gap between the trouser waistline and the waistcoat.
nightmare - cannot be done IMO considering you want it to *look* good and not just be the right rise. I think its sometimes easy to 'loose the plot' whilst looking for that perfect 'era look' but at the same time having an ill fitting garment. I'm all for alterating as much as possible a vintage garment to suit your size but it needs an overall esthetic ballance in the end. There are some details (like the trouser rise) that are just too tricky to deal with and will no doubt look odd if at all accomplished.
