how to pattern draft pants with the elastic only at the back

i’m trying to pattern draft a pair of pants that is kind of formal but still comfy, so i wanted them to have a regular flat waistband at the front and an elastic waistband at the back.
how big should the back be to let me fit into it but also not gape too much on the butt?
i was thinking to draw the back waist as big as the pelvis but won’t that be too big?
i also read about drawing the back waist + darts but not sew the darts to leave room for putting them on but won’t that be too small?
i don’t knowww please help :’))

Fitted collared shirt dress

Does anyone have a good pattern for this dress? I like the seams, collar, button up, and the overall silhouette. I don't care much for the faux pockets, but I'm not completely opposed to pockets in general. I found a few etsy ones, but few reviews and rhe about sections are so generic on the seller.

Please, help me make this dress.

Hello, will someone please help me with finding a full pattern or separate components needed to make this dress? I want to wear it for a wedding but they didn't sell one with the colour scheme assigned to me. If anyone could name the components or suggest tutorials is also very appreciated. Thank you for taking time to read my post🌻.

Pattern help?

Hi! I found this beautiful dress on Pinterest and wanted to buy it, but i found out it’s a cheap Shein/Amazon product and wanted to know if this would be difficult to pattern and sew/what style of dress I would want to find a pattern for to make something similar. I am plus size if that matters for sites for me to go on. Thanks in advance!

so this is my first ever jacket and i have some issues

i think the material could be off and also i dont like how the collar sits higher ok one side than the other, you have any tipps how to make a more fitted jacket. Are there some standard measurements for a more straight/ slim fit. I am really just getting started so would be nice to get some feedback🫶

Looking for shorts pattern similar to the Ligne Tangier short

I’ve already tried the Mila Shorts from Michelle Design Co, and the Weekend Chore Shorts from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. But neither gives the same leg flutter, or the overlying pockets.
