At age 92 I have developed an "old lady belly." Haven't been as mobile as in the past due to a weak leg. I'd like to make the front of some pants about 2 inches wider. There are no pleats or darts. I don't wear tucked in tops.

I'm thinking of making a slit on each side and sewing in a "V." It wouldn't show and would give me more wear from some fairly new pants.

Has anyone done this? Or do you have a better idea?

Thanks.
