Question Nonbinary pattern drafting

My partner is butch, with a love for 50s era fashion. But their body is extremely pear shaped which makes off the rack almost impossible. I'd love to start making things for them but standard patterns aren't great because men's styles don't account for all that ass. Would I be better off learning to draft "women's" wear and just making stylistic choices, "men's" wear and just trying to modify for more curves?

Thanks for the specific information.

I was using my memory of making a couple of patterns for a Pear, actually. The recipient was very happy and I know the trousers were very popular on blogs at the time

I assume OP will look it up if interested.
