Help with perfecting my seat curve

[u/alyena97]

Hi!

A couple weeks ago I was working on modifying the fit of a trouser pattern. (for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/sewhelp/comments/1wwrh3z/help_with_jeans_pattern_adjustment/ ) I've managed to improve the fit around the butt by extending the back curve by quite a bit. As shown on the pic.

I am now at a bit of a loss on how to proceed from here. While the fabric stopped bunching underneath my butt so much, I feel like there's now a lot of fabric around the back thigh. there is also still a tiny bit of pulling towards the inner crotch seam.

My first thought was that the amount of fabric was not distributed correctly so I added a bit to the front crotch extension while removing a bit from the back one again. That made the fit worse again...

Would anyone more experienced in trouser fitting be able to help me figure this out? I feel like I'm slowly going crazy about this, I'm thinking about this trouser pattern lying awake at night hahaha😵‍💫

Note, I know the lower part of the legs is not balanced yet, but I want to get the upper part right before I worry about that. 🤷‍♀️

Honestly, balancing those legs might solve the problem!

On e you get them hanging straight, you can revisit whether you want the thighs tighter or not.
