Fixing elastic that has lost its stretch can be relatively straightforward for some garments – or it can be a chance to completely refashion a piece
Any mention of elastic reminds me of being a child. The snap of a rubber band sling-shot across a classroom. Playing dress-ups in tutus with white elastic running inside the waistband. The wide strap across a pair of jiffies.
As an adult, I only ever notice elastic when it has stopped working and the slack material left behind is starting to annoy me.
