Sewers, best trouser pattern types for average sized ladies without a totally flat stomach?

Question

Not for plus size-just a fitting issue: in the lower abdomen area-the current patterns that are "1inch below waist" and variations of that(they are all that way not just for juniors!) difficult ones to fit-it seems they are too loose in that area and can be riding down easily while the others area fit. I would ike to avoid putting too much poofiness there as it can accentuate that area rather than downplaying it for them. If possible I'd like to avoid zippers and hooks as they cause the person skin irritation. I want to use a medium weight woven fabric.

If the styling is an issue, maybe you could just re-use an older pattern that suits you better. Or, this page has instructions for altering the crotch so that it would fit you better. http://cahe.nmsu.edu/pubs/_c/c-228.html
