I have a pair that the waist band was left in (I ddin't make them) and they work great. But then a gain my jeans are always too big around the waist in order to fit my hips so I guess my hips hold the pants up! LOL
I do like the look of the drawstring better but the widened waist band works well for me (and would definatly be easier to do)
