I have several problems with my pants pattern, but the main thing is the crotch area. My body depth measures 9 5/8, and a pattern made with that body depth gives me enough room in the rear, but leaves me with a "tent" on each thigh and a wad of fabric between my legs. A body depth of 8 seems just right for fitting smoothly around the legs and crotch, but causes a big "wedgie". I've tried playing with the center back waist dart, up to 6 inches, which helps some but not nearly enough. How can I get a smooth fit at the thighs and between the legs and still have enough room for my behind? I'm relatively flat in front and well-rounded in back.

I don't know if this will work for you,but what i did in such a case, to get close to a fit was as follows:- #1 Front crotch was a bit tight & resulted in thigh pull,My fix was to extend the back crotch length a tad, which enabled to push the pant forward, giving extra room in front which eliminated front thigh pulling.I added both front and back extensions together and resulted in the same amount of BD.
Then for large thigh I reduced the amount by a small number to straighten the legs,along with also reducing the inseam a tad,I played around a lot with this and did eventually get a good looking pant on screen.Next i checked the squares for ease etc,befor printing a test pant off.These steps worked for me whether or not you get the same results is another story,as were all snowflakes in body.HTH
