The back of the legs seem pretty full, but I think that is ok. Maybe. If this was a real pair of pants, would I be ok with all of that fabric in the back? I think so. It looks much better than having all kinds of pulling lines in the back, doesn't it? The other thing I'm trying to decide is if the crotch line is too low. I did take another set of pictures after I hiked the pants way up and it wasn't pretty.
So here's what I'm thinking I will try:
1) let out the front inseam 1/4 to 1/2 inch
2) take in the back inseam 1/4
3) take in the back side seams 1/4 inch
I will do one at a time and take pics and then decide if any or all worked. Wish me luck!!!!

When you try on your pants, wear underwear that fits SMOOTHLY to your waistline -- that is, to where you want the waistband to sit or above--or wear no underwear at all.
The picture looks like your underwear is hitting below the waistline of the pants sloper. That will make the sloper pull up either in front or in back. Most tights & pantyhose are too short either in front or in back, and will cause this. If you make the sloper with the underwear you plan to wear with it, you can alter to avoid these problems.
The back of the pants looks like the darts are a teensy bit too tight at the waistline. This makes the pants pull up above your natural waist and pull at the waist. If you make pants with pockets, it's a disaster. Pocket Gaposis. To reduce this problem, leave about 1/2" ease in the back of the waistline of the sloper and ease the pants into the waistband. That lets you have a snug waistband without pulling side seams or pockets.
I'm on V2 and am going on to see how it works out. From your pictures, you and I have similar figure types, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you work this out.
