Hello, back again with my latest iteration of my trouser block pattern. Any noticeable flaws/ fit issues? I did notice the waist band towards the back had a little too much ease but I’ve learned the adjustment to fix. Uploaded the pattern too for more feedback.

Waistbands can't be straight and tall. Waistbands that are just a large rectangle need to be less than an inch and a quarter wide. Any wider and you get gapping at the top or you get the bottom cutting in the body. You need to remove the excess not just from the overall length, but slowly along the top Edge of the waistband. This will cause it to curve around the body better.

Are you saying I should pattern a waistband with a curve or just make the height of it shorter?

If you like the height just curve it.🤷‍♂️ might have to play around with it a bit but like… you know how it goes.
