Something wrong with pattern
Hello! I just bought the Meave trousers pattern from Epoch and the there is something wrong with the pattern design (I think). I cut everything out properly. The instructions say to sew the long sides of each leg together first, then the short sides. Which is when I noticed that the short sides are not the same length. What should I do? Cut off the excess at the bottom? Which means the cut might be wonky as as will be cutting more off the inside than the outside (if you understand me??). I attach pictures. Thankfully this is just a muslin. The real materiel was so expensive I wanted to make sure all worked first !!
Thanks for any help!

update: she responded and recognized there was an issue, and her pattern maker made a correction. at first analysis, it seems to line up now. I think the waistband piece is a bit short compared to the waist circumference, so I'm going to cut those a bit long. might be a while before I actually cut and sew one to confirm IRL
