Abstract
An article of clothing that includes a waistband made from non-stretchable fabric. The waistband incorporates elastic throughout an interior portion, and the elastic is secured to the waistband at each side of one or more slits provided along the waistband. The slits along the waistband allow for the elastic to be hidden within the non-stretch fabric when the waistband is a rest while also allowing the elastic to stretch while robing, moving, dancing, and/or sitting.
