Specifically the wide waistbands (apparently lined with bias for stretch) and this version with an invisible zipper in the back but an elastic waistband insert exactly where you need it when you sit down:
All of the fitted pants are in stretch woven and all of the non stretch wovens are in pleated pants. I thought this comment was also interesting for this pair:
Apart from the fact that these are 5'10" models in size 4, the ideas are interesting.

Just getting ready, this minute, to put pleats in the front of pants. Will try this. The 5'10" I can almost do; I was born larger than a size 4. Ten is my personal best. So maybe I don't need elongating....
love that green fabric. Looks like shantung or habutai.
Learned a long time ago from reading Sandra Betzina that when the pleats are facing the side seam your tummy looks flatter. When the pleats are facing the center front the hips look better. Love the elastic added to the waistline just in front.
Yes, Bunny, I always ALWAYS put them towards the hips. That is, back when I made pleated pants. My tummy has always been my bane and my hips an asset.
Update. Just basted them one way and then the other. Totally agree w/ the others. Flat tummy look is the one I want.
thanks for that tip, bunny!
