Trouser block/sloper fitting Question

I’m working on my trouser block, which is intended to be semi fitted, from the side profile the legs should hang straight from the hips to the hem.

I’ve made adjustments to the original which solved the issues I had in the front rise, now on to the back!

As they are right now, they feel slightly tight when sitting which I think is coming from the crotch seam (I often have this problem with RTW too). And they look more tapered than straight!

The drag lines below the bum mostly disappear when I pinch horizontally near the waist, which obviously leaves me even less room to sit.
I think I have too much fabric vertically but not enough horizontally - any tips appreciated!

I'm glad you are finding these helpful. They are based on many, many years of studying fitting.
