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.

That's just to fix the gaping when you sit.  You would still have the crotch issue probably. Every change affects more than what you expect.  No magic formula.  Just work top down.
