An elastic waistband can be loosened by snipping the elastic at regular intervals around the waistband. However, this may eventually cause the elastic to unravel. Alternatively, by undoing the seam, removing the current elastic and sewing back in a wider band of elastic you will also have a looser waistband. The second method may require some sewing skills.

How can you stretch elastic waistbands that are too tight?
The possibility of expanding an elastic waistband depends on a couple of things. First, does the rest of the garment fit (bust, hips)? Secondly, is the elastic in the waistband loose or sewn in place. If the elastic is loose, the process will be much easier: in the inside of the garment find a place where you can open the casing about 2"-3" so you can gain access to the elastic; pull out a loop of the elastic; secure the elastic on both sides of the opening with pins so the elastic doesn't slip back in the casing; cut the elastic; add a piece of elastic to expand your waistband, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends & sew securely; now you can remove the pins securing the elastic & allow the elastic to slip back into the casing; stitch the casing closed. However, if your waistband elastic is stitched in place all the way around, as is the case with many ready made garments, you will have to remove all the stitching first before adding more elastic, remembering to allow approximately 1/2" of overlap on both ends; carefully pin the elastic back in place and resew in place with an elastic stitch that will not break but stretch with the elastic.
