/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Recently I got the Vintage Label Stamp pants from Alice and the Pirates, pictured (in red which I couldn't find the picture of again but, whatever). This is the first piece I've bought (fairly new to this hobby, and not a lot of disposable income to spend on it often) that doesn't fit me great. It does around the waist; it feels slightly loose maybe but not really noticeable. However, they're kind of baggy. And too long. I tried pairing them with boots, tried both over the boots and tucked in, and they just look really awkward and bunched up no matter what I do. So at this point I'm just trying to decide what to do and looking for advice. I'm considering alterations, but I'm not sure if I should just hem them, or consider altering the fit as well. Is there any way I could make a baggier fit work, or does it just not suit the style/piece at all?
