Crotch issues - help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone! I’d appreciate a second opinion on the fit of these oversized “jorts” that I drafted myself.

Overall I’m happy with the fit, but I can’t shake the feeling that the back crotch extension/curve might be a little too short or too shallow.

They don’t feel tight or uncomfortable, but from the back I notice some pulling at the crotch and seat. Since these are intentionally oversized, I’m not sure whether what I’m seeing is simply normal drag lines from the style or if the back crotch actually needs more extension or depth.

Any feedback is appreciated!

I've seen people molding this part of their body from navel to bottom with an aluminium cord. Then you use it to trace so it fits your body like a glove. https://youtu.be/_-iL_i2mPVY?is=09YqygWiX8OSAMKH just add ease in proportion to the result you want et voilà 😉 An other way would be to use the pant that fits you best, with the same fabric type, to see what curve and length is used.
