A waistband that looked clean standing—but folded in movement.

The starting point

A clean high-rise silhouette with an unresolved roll-down complaint.

The development decisions

1. 01

   Define the movement that triggers the fold.

2. 02

   Compare pattern shape and recovery before adding stiffness.

3. 03

   Record the approved edge and waistband construction.

The approval checkpoints

Movement protocol, waistband pattern revision and production sample reference.

For a new project with the same issue, connect these checkpoints to the style reference, sample revision and responsible reviewer. An approval for one garment does not establish the performance of a different material, size or construction.
