Sewing to Prevent Pants Elastic from Rolling?

[AutumnSunshine]

Hi Ladies, I hope somebody here can help me with a question I have. So you can probably imagine that after 4 kids my body is shaped in such a way that it makes good-fitting pants really difficult to find. I have found some from JCPenney that fit me great and I really love, but the problem is that the wide elastic waistband rolled on my last set horribly. Now I bought some new ones and I'm wondering if it's possible to put some stitches into the waistband somewhere to prevent this from happening again. Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

if you have a serger, definitely. using 3 step zig zag on a sewing machine works too but not as nice.

i personally wont wear pants with elastic, they make my hips look big and plus the elastic part it digs into my skin and a little unflattering on me. i would replace the entire thing with cotton lycra, much like on yoga pants waistband.

you can cut into a small tshirt or something form the thrift store, just make sure it has spandex/lycra in it. you can also buy yardage of cotton lycra.
