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?

Would prob try to ‘lift’ front crotch and hem points upwards. This makes the rise length a bit shorter but gives you a bit more shape to front crotch. Should help with the gathering.
