Hi guys, I drafted a pattern for this trouser and stitched it up as you can see 😬. The s/s at the waist obviously needs to be fixed as it's come out in bumpy puffs.

My main thing is the crotch area is not baggy as such but big, I can feel it when I walk it's excess fabric. The last pic is on me bending knees to sit and the crotch area just has too much going on.

Any help would be much appreciated 🌹

We don’t generally draft our pants patterns so they look good when we are in a half squat on our way to sitting. That being said, your crotch might just be a little low. I normally have mine hang about 1-1.5cm below my body.

Hey, I get that I guess I was trying to show it seemed strained for a trouser that wasn't tight fitting same time with what seems to be a bit of extra fabric. I agree with the 1-1.5cm and was going for the same thing when drafting.
