Gaps like those found at the sides of the waistband of a [[hakama]]. Present in highly exaggerated form in the costumes of [[ibuki (street fighter)|Ibuki]], [[akashi (kancolle)|Akashi]], and [[ooyodo (kancolle)|Ooyodo]].

If the gap goes all the way down to the hem, use [[side slit]] (and possibly also [[pelvic curtain]]) instead.
