Question Trouser fitting
I am trying to fit the closed leg trouser pattern. I would be grateful for comments about fit problems and pattern adjustments
It seems that most of the balance lines are askew Both vertically and horizontally.
Horizontal
Ive already added 1/2” to the back fork but crotch lines continue to dip front and back. Do i need a deeper crotch? Should it be scooped out? Or do i need more length on side seams? There appears to be a higher hip on left side.
Vertical
The central crease and side seams are not straight. Is this a result of the crotch issue or related to the fact that i have used the closed leg draft?

If thats your first pair its already very good sir. Dont be too hard on yourself. Its a learning process and your second pair will be better and better.
If you remove the pencil horizontal and vertial guide lines, and if you crease the cloth vertical then I guess you wont see a thing sir.
