I have been trying to fit a pattern but when I make the pants they are tight at the center back seam. But the side seams have some ease. What can I do to make the center back seam not so tight?

Re: Pants are tight at the center back

Dear Ry2z3b,

I believe that you need to lengthen the back crotch line. You can find an explanation of how to adjust the crotch line length in the following lesson. Pants Pattern Alteration for Different Body Shapes.

I tried what you suggested. It did not fix the problem I was having all it did was made the back crotch length longer. I need something to make the back piece wider. Any suggestion would be helpful.

Re: Making the pants larger at the centre back

Dear Ry2z3b,

You can let out from the center back seam allowance to make the pants larger at the centre back area.

Hope this helps.
