Off the top of my head, I'd say that venetians should be full at the top,
I've seen them with cartridge pleats or flat pleated, but either way quite
full. The knees are quite tight to the leg though.

it doesn't look "right" to me; I think I might be comparing it in my
mind to the smaller tabs found on women's stays of the same period.
