Maybe shorts too) that seems popular for that. And crosses over to normal wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311679 Sat, 04 Mar 2023 01:16:05 +0000 Kate 2311679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love Vildy's suggestion, Pants That Work. That would draw me in to take a closer look. I like Olive's idea of side cinches, and definitely flat front and back, as Zaeobi suggested, with cinched or elasticated sides. Pants with some structure for durability's sake, as well as good looks. Allows sturdier pockets as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311663 Sat, 04 Mar 2023 00:06:08 +0000 Echo 2311663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strangely (because the two terms are not at all synonymous), I am with Vildy in that my first thought upon hearing "inclusive" was "adaptive" for people who have difficulty with traditional fastenings, etc. The term inclusive wouldn't necessarily be appealing to me, as it tends to mean unisex with many US marketed items, and sizing tends to be wonky with that. I agree about coming up with something memorable, and I like Vildy's idea of "Pants that Work." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311659 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 23:49:55 +0000 Peri 2311659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely on the stretch waist, but definitely not on anything that achieves that by elastics that pinch if they are too tight or bunch up when they aren't stretched out. Anything that gathers is unflattering to just about every body. I prefer wide flat waistbands that stretch by virtue of the material.</p> <p>I don't think I'd be at all drawn to something marketed as "inclusive pants". It just sounds too weird. If you have to spend much time explaining what it means, it's going to fail. Your message sounds like you want an image of kindness, acceptance, comfort, support, so I can see where inclusive came from, there's just going to be a long explanation needed to define it and how many words do you want to put in those ads?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311472 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 08:28:46 +0000 Robert Rondeau 2311472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few suggestions for you ;</p> <ol> <li> <p>A high waist stretchy pant can be comfortable for individuals with a larger waistline if it is designed properly. The key is to ensure that the waistband is not too tight or restrictive, and that the stretchy fabric is able to accommodate different body shapes and sizes. Additionally, it is important to consider the placement and amount of stretch in the fabric, as well as the shape of the garment, to provide a comfortable and flattering fit.</p> </li> <li> <p>The term "inclusive pant" may be attractive to consumers who are looking for clothing that is designed to fit a variety of body types and sizes. However, it is important to communicate the specific features and benefits of the pant in addition to the label "inclusive." This can help consumers understand what makes the pant suitable for their needs and preferences. Additionally, it may be helpful to use a range of models with different body types to showcase the versatility of the pant and demonstrate its ability to flatter different figures.</p> </li> </ol> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311468 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 07:35:54 +0000 Ragnhild 2311468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your answer regarding the name Vildy! I agree, whats wrong with a pant that works! We need to find a name that is strong and positive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311467 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 07:33:50 +0000 Ragnhild 2311467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI, Jenava, i want to add gussets for comfort, and we will have many sizes. tall and small. </p> <p>But we also want to make sure we dont get that cutting waistband feeling into our stomach. So that is why i want to add soft stretch on some parts of the upper waist area.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311404 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 00:32:12 +0000 Vildy 2311404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember Diana Rigg (Mrs. Peel of the Avengers series) being interviewed long ago and she showed how her pants had those little side buckle cinches so they always fit.&nbsp; Wonderful for monthly bloating.</p> <p>I don't find "inclusive" appealing. Sounds like adaptive clothing for people with health challenges.&nbsp; What's wrong with Pants That Work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311399 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 23:58:54 +0000 Jenava 2311399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of unisex when I see "inclusive" with a garment.</p> <p>Is there a reason you are putting these waist gussets into the pants? Are you making only one size? Why not grade the pattern and actually make a large size range? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311315 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 17:36:00 +0000 rachylou 2311315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like a high waist stretchy pant, but I still like a flat waist band. If the it’s a gathered stretchy waist, that creates pouf in the tummy area… something I’d say most of us would rather do without… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311261 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 13:08:38 +0000 Ragnhild 2311261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for all the good idea and inputs!!!! <br />I relay appreciate it!&nbsp;<br />I will work further with the side cinches mentioned by Olive. And yes April, the name need to be worked on! We need to get a cool name</p> <p>I also agree with Zaeobi, about showing the pant on many different body types.&nbsp;<br />We already have a design feature giving all pant 5 cm extra length if needed.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311251 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 12:24:42 +0000 Zaeobi 2311251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Olive's idea of side cinches - I've also seen trousers with flat waistbands in the front &amp; back but with elasticated sides, which could be a good compromise between formality &amp; comfort? </p> <p>If I saw the term 'inclusive pants' though, I'd only be convinced if I could see them being modelled on many different body types (not just shapes, but varying heights &amp; sizes too). I'm a short pear shape with a defined waist but some lower belly pooch, so I actually prefer a high waist - but I think providing full measurements (including the back &amp; front rise for each size) would help people decide whether the high-rise is right for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311248 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 12:13:12 +0000 Olive Green 2311248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants that would grow a bit on the waist are indeed helpful. <br />Inclusive is a good word for me. Unisex, not so much, as the sizing is too wonky. Measurements available for the internet shopping problems.&nbsp;<br />Suggest side cinches on the waist, like old fashioned work pants. Small buckles with a strip of cloth that can pull in or let out. Covers asymmetry, also.&nbsp;<br />Too much stretchy looks a bit cheap as it often stands in for decent tailoring. So cloth with some structure is also appreciated. It covers any bumps. And you can put large pockets in it.&nbsp;<br />Fabric that does not need dry cleaning. Who needs another errand?<br />And, in a perfect world, adjustable hem length.<br />good luck!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311243 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 11:37:37 +0000 April 2311243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have had the same idea with regard to tights, R.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>While I love the concept of an "inclusive pant", I think the name needs work.&nbsp; Something snappier (think of Sara Blakeley with "Spanx") would be great, and I'd be more inclined to describe them as "pants for everyone."&nbsp; It's just simpler, more direct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/designer-need-some-help#post-2311233 Thu, 02 Mar 2023 09:44:09 +0000 Ragnhild 2311233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,<br />Im a designer for a work-wear brand in Norway and i am working on a design for a Inclusive pant. <br />What i mean by inclusive is that i want to make a pant for women in all shapes/sizes etc.. <br />Not only pregnant women but all body types.&nbsp;<br />We see a big increase of women in the work wear industry and they need good equipment that looks nice.</p> <p>And now here is my questions:&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Is it comfortable to wear a high waist stretchy pant if you have a bigger waistline? Is this good or bad?&nbsp;</p> <p>Im thinking a high waist pant with stretch woven fabric in the sides and a rib in front and back.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Would you by a pant if it say "Inclusive pant" - What is your first thoughts that comes into your head?</p> <p>I relay hope many of you can help me to design the perfect pant for women!</p> <p>I hope this is okey to post here, if not im sorry for the trouble.</p> <p>Kind regards </p> <p>Ragnhild&nbsp; </p>
