A resilient band for an article of apparel that defines a longitudinal length and a cross section taken in a transverse direction that is transverse to the longitudinal length, the resilient band having: a first fabric with a first resiliency, the first fabric in the cross section being folded over upon itself at a fold to define a first portion, a second portion that overlaps the first portion, and a pocket between the first and second portions (52, 54), the pocket being closed off at the fold and without transverse fabric at an end that is opposite the fold; and a second resilient fabric with a second resiliency, the second resilient fabric in the cross section being disposed within the pocket, the second resilient fabric being operably secured to the first fabric, said second resiliency greater than said first resiliency; and a drawstring retention panel operably secured to the first portion within the internal pocket; a first fastening structure that extends in the transverse direction through the first fabric and the second resilient fabric to attach the first fabric and the second resilient fabric together, the first fastening structure extending in the transverse direction through each of the first portion of the first fabric, the second resilient fabric, and the second portion of the first fabric; and a second fastening structure that extends in the transverse direction through the first fabric and the second resilient fabric to attach the first fabric and the second resilient fabric together, the second fastening structure extending in the transverse direction through the first portion of the first fabric, the second resilient fabric and the drawstring retention panel, said the second fastening structure terminating in the transverse direction inside the pocket to stop short of extending through the second portion of the first fabric. a first fabric with a first resiliency, the first fabric in the cross section being folded over upon itself at a fold to define a first portion, a second portion that overlaps the first portion, and a pocket between the first and second portions (52, 54), the pocket being closed off at the fold and without transverse fabric at an end that is opposite the fold; and a second resilient fabric with a second resiliency, the second resilient fabric in the cross section being disposed within the pocket, the second resilient fabric being operably secured to the first fabric, said second resiliency greater than said first resiliency; and a drawstring retention panel operably secured to the first portion within the internal pocket; a first fastening structure that extends in the transverse direction through the first fabric and the second resilient fabric to attach the first fabric and the second resilient fabric together, the first fastening structure extending in the transverse direction through each of the first portion of the first fabric, the second resilient fabric, and the second portion of the first fabric; and a second fastening structure that extends in the transverse direction through the first fabric and the second resilient fabric to attach the first fabric and the second resilient fabric together, the second fastening structure extending in the transverse direction through the first portion of the first fabric, the second resilient fabric and the drawstring retention panel, said the second fastening structure terminating in the transverse direction inside the pocket to stop short of extending through the second portion of the first fabric.
