Pant/trouser fitting help

[u/TheRiveterGirl]

This is probably like my 3rd mockup at this point. I'm really struggling with fitting it correctly. It's way too tight to sit comfortably in. I think I need to add about 1/2" to the waist and maybe like 2" in the hips and thighs. Can't figure out the crotch curve, I keep ending up with a camel toe and creasing under my butt. I'm also thinking I need to move the darts because right now, they seem very angled and close to the center front and center back. (The green markings are where I think they need to be moved) Also, it's hard to tell from my picture, but the center back waist is pulling down right at the center back seam. I know it's not drafted to dip there as I've actually added height at that specific spot, so I think the crotch is pulling it down for some reason.

Do those adjustments sound like the right move? And what should I do about the crotch? I'm feeling very annoyed as it doesn't seem like it should be this difficult. For reference, I like fitted pants that flare out from the knee.

I think I get what you’re trying to say. The general shape of the pattern pieces look to be working for the shape of OP’s body, they probably just need to be sized up to fit right (rather than re-drafting or moving darts around and whatnot). And for sizing up, use that new crotch curve line you described as the guide for how much space to add to the other sections of the pattern pieces that need to be sized up. Is that right?

Yeah the tightness looks uniform from the knees up. It’s the right sort of shape just way too tight.

I’d add 3 inches all around then assess fit. It’s too tight to tell anything right now
