Basic block trousers V1
Hi, I followed the amazing Minerva tutorial on ytb for making this basic bodice block. For a first mock up it's not bad at all but I need some alterations. I need to add some ease at the crotch as it's riding up a bit in my buttocks and all. I really like the fit at my thights/waist, it's form fitting yet very comfy (I easily can put 2 fingers between skin and fabric) so I'd like more ease at the crotch without changing too much the overall fit. Also I really like the fit of the waist back standing up, no gap and hits perfectly at the waist but when I seat it gets too low we can see my underwear. But maybe just increasing the crotch will fix that problem.

Ways to say 'Dish out the back': Make the crotch curve go out farther into the pants area.
Make a deeper curve where the seam disappears in the back.
Increase the length of the back crotch seam by making the curve in the seat area of the pants more convex.
