Tapering suit pants?

[DGP]

I recently got a new suit back from havinig alterations. The tailor did a good job on the things I specified, but when I wear the pants, I have this feeling that they are too wide at the bottom openings. I've never had suit pants tapered before, but I would imagine it isn't too difficult. Anyone have experience with this, and suggestions/cautions I should hear before asking for it to be done?

It's an easy alteration. Just make sure you know how big an opening you want, and keep it in proportion with the rest of the suit.

I'd bring a pair of pants that fit like you want these to fit. It's a very simple operation from there. They will have to be rehemmed, and being smaller you may want them to have a different break (probably less break). So don't let your tailor do the hem without remeasuring.
