What would be a good thing: If pants/shorts/skirts have a button at the front a width adjustment morph for this button. If one creates a character with a bit wider hip/waist the button spreads and that is should be adjustable with a morph.

Actually DAZ Studio and Smith Micro should probably consider that they supply the character that you load in a scene's height and other measurements, including weight and that clothing is designed to fit these industy standard measurements, and an article of clothing can be altered to fit automatically by adjusting it to fit the DAZ character's measurement.
They also should investigate gathering a huge trove of public domain clothing patterns and supplying the cutouts labeled so as to which DAZ or Poser geometry / surface group it belongs to, to the DAZ Studio and Poser users to size and sew together automagically.
It mainly needs they need to organize those resources up front to do the job. Key thing though is to have the real-world measurements for the characters available so that the clothing can be accurately sized and fitted.
eg a link to one of many businesses that offer such services for real people:

So in summary - I would like DAZ and Poser to give me the vital statistics of a character I load and I can change that character by typing in changes to the character's vital statistics. eg height, weight, body builder measurements, tailor measurements, race, age, complexion, hair color, eye color, weight and then one's really just left with a task of further customizing via facial geometry or body types and little individualistic nuances (eg I have short legs on average for someone of my height and a longer torso because of ancient northern ancestry - those things are an adaption against the cold).
If you want to shape a figure to vital statisitcs look at Measure Metrics for DS and the Figure Metrics script that comes with it.
Really? So cool! I just bought like 25 V4 & M4 outfits. Just in time. :-)
