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.
You sew the elastic about an inch or two apart in the heel of the shoe. It should be cut and measured around your ankle ahead of time so you know it won't be too tight or too loose.H______________________________________________________________________One Elastic Band:1) Fold the back of your pointe shoe down.2) Mark the place where the back of the pointe shoe falls.3) Take your elastic and place it at an angle, right where you marked.4) Stretch the elastic to the other side, where your other marking is.5) Sew the elastic in place with enough "extra" on each side (this will keep the back of the shoe on your heel).Two Elastic Bands (Crisscrossed):1) Place the pointe shoe on your foot.2) About 1-1.5 inches from the heel, sew one end of the band.3) Stretch the elastic across the top of the foot to a place on the shoe a little closer to the toes (about 2-2.5 inches from the heel).4) Sew the end of the elastic there.5) Repeat on the other side, starting at the end on the back and moving it forward.6) It should look like an "X" on the top of your foot.
The rubber band would stretch and elongate as the weight pulls on it, storing elastic potential energy. If the weight is too heavy, the rubber band may reach its elastic limit and eventually break.
It depends how tight you put it. and the hair ties you use. never use elastic bands. and don't put it too tightFor the ultimate wave, don't put it in only one plait. 2 is best. and not so tight
When you press on a balloon too hard, the air pressure inside the balloon increases, causing the balloon to expand. Eventually, the balloon reaches its elastic limit and cannot stretch any further, resulting in it bursting.
Not too tight, make sure to give it room to stretch out the neck, etc. The slack of the lead line should be about as long as 3 quarters of your arm, or so, depending on the size of your horse & the length of the neck.
ALL snakes shed their skins - their skin doesn't 'stretch' like ours does, so they have to discard the old skin when it gets too tight.

Absolutely not! DO NOT attempt to alter a condom! It WILL break! If it's too tight, try Trojan Magnums, I do.

Your tall riding boots should be snug but not binding. If they are uncomfortable you can take them to a repudable shoe repair shop and they can put small elastic panels on the inside tops so they have some give. You will be able to get them on and off more easily too.
Rubber has elastic properties, meaning it can stretch and return to its original shape when the stretching force is removed. This quality is a result of the long polymer chains in rubber, allowing it to stretch without breaking easily.
well if its too tight it can
