A properly sewn and fitted waistband is a joy to wear. It never stretches, wrinkles, or folds over as some waistbands have a way
of doing, nor does it bind you or slip down on your hips. To attain this ideal combination of fit, good looks, and comfort, the dressmaker must know how to ease the skirt or pants into the waistband.
