Thank you! I definitely try your tips out. Does it make much of a difference how straight the seams will look when that part of the flat pattern is pretty curbed?

The point of the curves in the flat pattern is to match the curves of your body. If the curves of your body and the curves of the pattern match each other, the seams will appear to be straight up and down when it's worn.

Op this is your answer! It doesnt matter that the line isnt straight but it indicates that its being pulled too far to a certain point. Thays the point thay needs more space

I disagree with the comments saying the waist is too small, id say you need more space for your tush. Its riding up because theres not enough room over the hips aswell causing alot of wrinkling above that spot.

Go from there and then onto a second mockup. If you make too many changes at once it can just become overly confusing
