There are only a few things that are more annoying than twisting elastic in the waist of skirts or pants. To prevent the problem one set of pattern instructions provided the following directions: Try on the garment and distribute the waist gathers evenly and to the wearer's preference. Pin at the side seams. Stitch in the ditch to secure the elastic.
I have used many elastic waist patterns before settling on my favorite to use as a sloper and only on one do I recall seeing this particular set of instructions. I have secured the elastic with a button on the front. The button served two purposes: securing the elastic but only in one spot and to identify the front.
