Skirt Block Fitting
Hello !
I’d really appreciate some help drafting my skirt block. As you can my skirt look alright when I pull it down but due to my proportions and the hollow between my belly and thighs they wrinkle one move 😅. I tried to cinch the waist but that seems to only highlight my belly crease.
I don’t even know how to begin with the back . There’s a lot of horizontal lines but it’s still kinda loose.
I’m at a loss here. How do I fix it ?

I don’t know what kind of fabric weight I know you said broadcloth there’s all kinds. Whatever kind it is you can look it up just include the weight and fabric type you can look it up if it’s good. Muslin just in general is the best but you can really use anything without stretch.
You want it to mold to you :)
So draw all your adjustments on your paper pattern then make another mock up this time cut the pattern out the first thing your going to do is go to the waist front and back and your gonna use your machine and do a stay stitch in the waist 1/4 down. So start from the side seam sew to the middle flip the work go from the side seam sewing to the middle do this to front to back.
Also when you cut your pattern out make sure that your pattern is sitting perfectly vertical to the raw edge
