I can add this to those that gained a bit of weight, and have a sewing machine, or just a needle and thread. Most pants, even the cheap pants at Costco, have about a 1" to 2" at the back seam of excess fabric. Be it cheap, or expensive, most brands have a bit of material to make the waist bigger. Use a razor, or sewing thread cutter (I don't know the name, but you guys have seen the tool before. They are everywhere, including Safeaway). You carefully cut the fabric from the backside of the trousers. Use a magnifying glass, or I use a stereoscope, in order to not tear the delicate fabric, cut the thread. Then sew the elongated pieces together. You don't need to worry about serging the material in most cases. In the end, if you are a 38w you can go to a 40w in an hour. (This does not work with most jeans though. Just slacks. I'm very interested in the technique this family uses to repair fabric. I kinda know what they are doing in their repairs, but I would like to know more. If anyone knows more about this technique, I'd appreciate any instruction, or further information on this technique of weaving. I need extra income, and I'm in the Bay Area.)
