Spanish term or phrase: Fuelle
This is part of a product description for some trousers - I can find "fuelle" online but only in reference to pockets (and I can't see a good English translation for that, either). In this case it refers to taking the trousers off.

The full sentence is: Pantalón largo perchado con estilo pitillo y aberturas en el bajo con cremallera y fuelle para quitar y poner la prenda con facilidad.

English translation:Inverted pleat
Explanation:
Made-to-measure curtains with an inverted pleat heading are suitable for use on tracks or poles. Also known as backwards-facing pleats, inverted pleated curtains are suitable for windows where there is minimal wall space to ‘stack’ the opened curtains.

Long fitted skinny pants with side openings on the lower part including zipper and inverted pleat so the garment can be easily removed.

agree  philgoddard: Sounds like it's been translated already. http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=fuel...

  -> It hadn't occurred to me to look.
agree  Janice Giffin: I believe 'inverted' and 'reverse' pleats are the same, whereas 'forward' pleats are slightly different.
40 mins
  -> Yes, there are different types of pleat. Thank you, Janice :-)
agree  neilmac: You should post "inverted pleat" as a solution :-)
1 hr
  -> It would be a solution, though I can't see a pleat in the photo in my link. I have a feeling that it's extra fabric that gets tucked away when the zip is closed. Not an opening as such.
