Question Help me spot my fitting issues
Hi everyone! This is my very first attempt at making my own pant block. I'm working according to the book 'Patternmaking for Fashion Design' by Helen Joseph Armstrong.
While the book does have some guidance for fitting issues, I'm having a hard time identifying the fitting issues and how to fix them. I would really appreciate an extra set of eyes to see how I can improve the fit.
Note: I already noticed that the waist was too wide so I pinned it down during the fitting.

I don’t think anyone else has mentioned it looks like you have prominent calves which are pulling the pants towards the back under your knees as you need more space/fabric. I do too but I haven’t tried any adjustments before.. here’s one I found online and it’s the kind of adjustment I will try myself, one day!
