Thinking about the waistband the Kenneth King way - I think it would only really work on a waistband that sat quite high, on the natural waist (eg up around your tummy) . When the trousers finish down towards your hip, it seems like you would need a more curved band. I used a cotton type interfacing on the band of my trousers , that were made from fabric with a bit of stretch and the waistband behaves really well. But it's one of those things that no-one will notice, like you said, as everything else is perfect ( I especially love the leather details)cuadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521790204825358581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-66626031711970585782013-04-06T17:11:30.259-04:002013-04-06T17:11:30.259-04:00Well they look fantastic!
