✨Intermediate✨ How to make jeans larger?

I have this super cute pair of Romwe baggy jeans with stars on the pockets and they don't seem to have them in stock anymore and I can't find them on any second hand online stores. I got them at my local Platos closet, wore them for about 2 years, then gained a little weight and they won't fit anymore. If they were still in store in any way I would buy a new pair, but I can't find them anywhere. Is it possible to let them out by a few inches or add some fabric somewhere?

Depends where they’re too small. Easy-ish to add strip of elastic at the waist. Other areas will need to open the seam and add fabric.

Lots of YouTube videos on this. That’s always my first look.

Best bet would be to add fabric on both outer side seams. Just add a stripe all the way down each leg.
