Basic pants / slacks pattern and fitting advice
Hello good ppl of pattern drafting community!
I am here for some time now, but i don't comment a lot, i like to read and search the community and i have found really a great amount of quality information here, thank you all for that!
I have decided to perfect my basic pants block, i am not unsatisfied with the fit, but i know it can be better, so i am asking for help. I am self thought in pattern making and fit, everything i learn from tutorials and books i could find, and i am mostly use Bunka fashion collage books for drafting patterns as they are metric and i like geometrical approach of drafting if that's making sense. The slacks pattern is drafted from bunka trousers patten. I have attached photos of the pattern (drafted and what i have changed so far for better fit). The fitting i learned from youtube tutorials and some books i could find in local library and on the net.
Last pic is pattern that i drafted, and before that are pics what i changed and what i am thinking of changing
For the fit -> I have already moved side seam at the waist line 2 cm to the front to balance the side seam more, and i am satisfied with how it looks now. I have lowered a bit crotch at the front and back as they were not balanced and i had a bit of a triangle situation when i sewed it up, now it is laying flat to the body. I am satisfied with balance lines, everything is parallel, and nothing is pulling or stretching. The fabric is very lightweight, some cheap bedsheet fabric so everything is showing, i think with a more weight in fabric the fit probably would be much much cleaner and whiteout any creases and pulling.
Should i change anything at the back or front so the fit is better? i can see the diagonal lines at the back tights, but i am not sure if i should do something about it or what i should do about it. Should i shorten the back crotch extension, it looks like it is a bit long on the pattern, but i wouldn't say so when i tried it.
Thank you for reading my long post :D
