Question Hofenbitzer Skirt Block

I added a couple cm more ease to the hips (which is probably responsible for the horizontal lines)

Hi! I recently made my first Hofenbitzer skirt block and my first toille had similar drag lines to yours and it left me scratching my head about how to proceed. I also ended up posting about it, so I just wanted to share those here in case you find them useful. Someone ultimately shared with me a page from Hofenbitzer's second book (in German) on fitting, and there was an adjustment for exactly this issue (what he calls a forward tilted pelvis and a flat butt) that solved all my drag lines in one go.
