This is a guide on how repair or reattach a belt loop on a pair of dress pants. For this repair you will need a sewing machine, thread, scissors, and sewing pins (optional). When sewing, make sure you are not wearing loose clothing and tie back hair that could get caught in the machine. This is a useful repair because dress pants can be expensive to replace if a piece goes missing or is damaged, and this repair can make it less likely for you to need to replace your dress pants.
