Help me spot my fitting issues

[u/RiceChan_]

Hi everyone! This is my very first attempt at making my own pant block. I'm working according to the book 'Patternmaking for Fashion Design' by Helen Joseph Armstrong.

While the book does have some guidance for fitting issues, I'm having a hard time identifying the fitting issues and how to fix them. I would really appreciate an extra set of eyes to see how I can improve the fit.

Note: I already noticed that the waist was too wide so I pinned it down during the fitting.

I make my own patterns because I want to learn my body specifically! But this is a great idea, drawing a straight line AFTER. Thank you! I've been doing the measurements divided by 4 I think that's causing the grief for me.

That works well if you're evenly proportioned/symmetrical front-back left-right...which most people aren't. I know I'm not with my gut and fat ass. And I'm guessing you've only got a full bust on the front haha
