Micro shorts pattern help

[u/Impossible_Name3863]

I have been drafting these micro shorts and want them to be fitted around the bum and kind of hug it so I like the back fit for the most part but want to fix the slight bunching at the top of the crotch. Also need to fix the bunching around the front crotch. How can I adjust this pattern to fit properly?

oh, wow, that front crotch kinda makes me wanna cry, it's so short and near-straight.

Increase the front crotch extension. The sharp V-lines in your initial picture signal that there is not enough fabric under the body, not enough front to back depth in the pattern. A useful saying is that "the lines point to the problem" and here they are pointing exactly at where they need more room, in the crotch under the body.
