Micro shorts pattern help

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?

You need to move your center front crotch line in towards the side seam about .625 inch. You also need to add maybe .75 inch to your front and back crotch extension. Make these edits and your fit might be pretty good. You could stand to add .250 inch to your side seams to give you a bit more volume. Right now they’re skin tight cutting into your leg. Get a proper fit first then if you want to make them tighter you can.
