How these inputs affect this pattern

Use the notes below to understand which measurements shape the draft, which options change construction, and what should be measured again when values conflict. Presets are starting points; the submitted values drive the result.

Included

Full waistband piece with closure guides

The export includes the seam and cutting lines, fold line for straight styles, curved edges for contoured styles, overlap guide, button marker where applicable, seam allowance, labels, and a 5 × 5 cm test square.

Measurements

Waist seam, finished width, ease and overlap

Use the garment waist seam as the main length target. Finished width controls waistband depth, ease changes tightness, and overlap adds the extension required for a button or hook closure.

Styles

Straight, contoured, elastic or button overlap

Straight waistbands fold into a rectangle; contoured bands use curve depth and are cut as shaped layers. Elastic and extended-overlap presets provide starting settings for pull-on and closure constructions.
