If you search online, you'll find a site that has made these type leggings. I think it is in the Tudor Tailor book as well. The pants/leggins were woolen and shaped to fit snuggly. But I wondered if the tummy bulges helped or hindered the stay-up-ness of the leggins. I guess if you sweat, it could act as glue to keep them up.
