I’m an old woman. Wore pleated skirts and hip-pleated skirts in the 60’s, so I find nothing wrong with the design. I wouldn’t want bell-bottom pants however. Wore enough of those in the 60’s too. With the extra pleated space and the bell-bottoms, they look like something Moochie Obama would wear, to give his big, black ass more space to fit in, and more area to hide his Crown Jewels.
They had pleated pants with pleats right down the centerline of your hips?
