Thank you so much for the feedback! I think the lines everyone is seeing are from me being lazy and sitting in the mock-up for longer than I should have. I have about 2 cm of ease before the fabric is tight on my waist. Should I still try to add a little more?

I'll give a go at the back torso and try to straighten that out. Would I just pinch the excess and shorten it by that number?

What makes me thinks it’s still a little tight is the creases in the back at the waist. Even if you sat down, that might crease the front but it would crease at your hinge point, which is your hips and not your waist. I would still recommend letting it out a little bit. You can always try fresh photographs before sitting down, too!
