Italian term or phrase: volant
In the curtaining field this is a valance - a piece of cloth like a trim on the top of the curtain

I can't seem to find the equivalent in the clothing industry- it seems just to be "trim"

fanno capolino i pantoloni sottili, che terminano in un volant allungato all'indietro per dare movimento alle gambe
