First, take some measurements. From your NATURAL waist in front, to
your natural waist in back, through your legs. Divide the measurement
in half. Add four inches to the back, and subtract four inches from
the front. Measure the entire measurement of the front and back crotch
on the pattern. You only need about 1/2 inch ease, so if there is more
than this difference from your measurement, this is where you need to
make adjustments. Do it by slashing and adding, or folding and
taping. This won't completely fix the problem, but it will get you
closer.

Thanks, Teri. I measured like you said and checked my pattern. According to the measurements, I should add 2" to the center back seam and subtract 2" from the center front. However, even when I pull up on the center front seam, it doesn't solve the problem. I will keep this formula in mind for altering the pattern, though.
