Sorry if this has been asked already but does anybody have recommendations on how to cut the lining for pleated trousers? Do you cut it before you put in the pleats or do you put in the pleats beforehand? I’m just finding it a little tricky to figure out because of how the pleats “bulge” the cloth instead of laying flat like flat fronted.

I've made several of these now, and I attach the lining before fixing the central pleat, but after creating the second, smaller pleat. If you'd attach the lining on the pleated front, you'd actually nullify the benefit of the pleats.
