To make sure you don’t cut your elastic lengths too short, measure yourself first. Hold one end of your measuring tape to one side of your waist. Have someone pull the tape across your shoulder and back down to the same place on your waist on your backside. Add 6" to 12" to this measurement to make the suspenders adjustable. This should be how long your elastic straps should be cut.
Once you’ve done this, take the elastic straps off and proceed with attaching the clips and buckles.
This will make the suspenders adjustable.
Sew about five stitches. You can reinforce the seam by going back through a few times if you’d like.

Attach the back suspender clip to the back of your pants and have a friend hold the d-ring in place in the middle of your back. Attach the two front clips to the front of your pants. Have your friend pull the straps back over your shoulders and to the d-ring. Mark where the front straps meet the ring. Cut the front straps an inch or two away from the mark, to give it some slack.
