Explaining design mistake and solutionfrom @yitaigeng
The creator showcases a pair of grey pleated pants they designed, explaining the mistakes made in the first iteration. They detail how the excess fabric from the pleats and the flowy material caused the legs to flare out undesirably. To fix this, they outline their plan for the next version: using a stiffer fabric, changing the pattern to a tapered cut, and potentially sewing down the pleats at the top.

Post caption
This is a pair of pleated pants I designed and I made a huge mistake. I forgot that because pleats add extra fabric to the waist, the excess fabric will cause the legs to flare out instead of maintaining a straight cut like how I wanted. The fabric I chose is also too flowy and it’s not stiff enough to hold the shape. For the next iteration, I'm going to use a stiffer fabric to hold the shape of the pants and prevent excessive flaring. I’m also going to change the pants to a taper cut so the gradual narrowing from the thigh to the ankle can help control the flare. I might even sew the pleats down for a few inches below the waistband to help keep the pleats in place and reduce the volume down the pant leg. #pants #pant #design #fashion #fashiondesign #pleats #pleating

This is a pair of pleated pants I designed and I made a huge mistake. I forgot that because pleats add extra fabric to the worst. The excess fabric will cause the legs to flare out instead of maintaining a straight cut like how I wanted. The fabric I choose is also too flowy and it's not stiff enough to hold the shape. For the next iteration, I'm going to use a stiffer fabric to hold the shape, and I'm going to change the pants to a taper cut, so the gradual narrowing from the thigh to the ankle can help control the flare. And I might even sew the pleats down for a few inches to keep the pleats in place.
