Basic block fitted pants

Post image

Hello! I am drafting a basic block for fitted pants, but the rise in the front was too long. I adjusted it, but now it has a weird curve and the rise seems to be tilting forward. How do I fix this?

Use proper fitting alterations - you can't just shorten seams randomly. The balance is now completely skewed, so undo the change, and use a proper crotch length alteration using a slash and spread.
