gusseted

Given extra fabric

Gusseted describes something fitted with a gusset—a triangular or diamond-shaped piece of fabric inserted to add strength, flexibility, or room.

Clothing is gusseted at stress points: gusseted crotch, gusseted underarms.

Bags and packaging may be gusseted to expand their capacity.

The term appears in product descriptions emphasizing durability or freedom of movement.
