It works every time.'Here is an old tute I wrote http://handyprojects.blogspot.com/search?q=pants Hi Eeloh

with the elastic – I just hold it around the child and ask how they like it – some like it loose – some like it tight – some like it around their hips and not their waists at all – here is a rule of thumb ‘Elastic around your waist should be your waist size minus 2 inches. It works every time.’

I'm impressed with your PJ efforts. Do you sew the elastic in or do a casing? And how do you make it the right tightness? I've read somewhere to cut the elastic so it's 3cm less than the child's waist measurement. does this sound about right to you? :-) eeloh Kath, sorry this is off-topic ….
