You wouldn't happen to be my daughter, would you, hiding behind that alias?

Yes, that should work. Find a color that suits and patch a triangle into each side seam down by the hem, just like a gusset. When you fold the seams back outward, the gusset material should lie flat. You should probably take out a bit of the hem either side of the seam first, then re-hem across the bottom of the stretchy stuff as well when done. Still a fairly simple job, and would look a bit neater. This should make a better women's fit out of a men's garment. We're the ones with curves the men covet.
