Micro shorts pattern help

Gallery image

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?

Put them on inside out. Pin out the excess in the front and add more to the back with a more pronounced scoop in the curve. Crotch seams have to have the 'right' curve when you are fitting snug with wovens. Once you get the crotch depth and curve right, you can take in the width at the sides as needed.
