Posted - Apr 08 2011 : 1:41:51 PMI have been looking and looking and am unable to find on. Most of my pants suits (Business Casual) come with jackets and pants that have elastic in the back with a flat front and a waistband.
Would anyone happen to know a pattern that is currently available that has this option or how a very basic seamstress would adapt a pattern?
Thank you, Debi Herb19355

Posted - Apr 08 2011 : 3:52:15 PMif i were using a pattern intended for elastic all the way around, i would add darts to shape the front a bit. otherwise, i see no reason why they wouldn't fit. a bit of fashion trivia...the detail you descibed is called a hollywood waistband.

Thanks for your quick reply

Posted - Apr 08 2011 : 2:01:48 PMI have done this before. When you are putting in your elastic only put it in the back casing. Leave the front flat. I just used a basic pattern not a special one. Email me if you have questions.
