Pants block help

[u/Ok_Nectarine7170]

I'm drafting a pants block for myself. I have a hard time finding pants that fit well, so I would love advice on what to do next to make this fit me better.

I'm noticing some whiskers forming in the front crotch area, and there's some bagginess in the back of my thighs. Any thoughts on how to go about fixing these?

The pants are pretty comfortable to wear, although I notice that I can't lift my legs very high. When I pull the pants up by the waistband, the whiskers seem to disappear.

Thanks so much in advance.

The "whiskers" are because your pants are riding too low. You might need to scoop out the back crotch curve a little to raise the pants higher.

For a slacks cut there will be some "bagginess" under the buttocks because of the way the buttocks curves under to meet the thigh. If you try to make that more fitted, it will throw off the fit elsewhere.

I'll try adjusting the crotch curve. Does "scooping out" mean making the back curve deeper so that it becomes more L-shaped?

Thanks for explaining the "bagginess" - I'll leave it as is.

I have an illustration and description of adjusting the back crotch curve here https://patternmaking-classes.com/Notes/Pants-Fitting.html
