What kind of tape measure do I need?

Tape Measure

It is important to have an accurate tape measure. Tape measures stretch out of shape and become distorted with wear. Lay your tape measure on a ruler to check for accuracy. Replace it as needed. Avoid rolling up your tape measure, this will stretch and twist it out of shape.

I am trying to alter my slacks (ladies). I want to lower the crotch so that I can raise them up at the waist. Do you know of any websight that might explain how to do this?
Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thanking you in advance,
Kelle
