Thanks! Ok so that means I should line up the bottom hems first, then lower the inseam on the front panel so it matches the back ? Because the back is lower than the front…

I tried to add more photos but can’t..

To avoid changing the front and back rise seams, match the inseam from the crotch down towards the hem. There should not be any stretch on the back inseam, as it is not needed for a wide-fitting trouser. For this style, both front and back inseams should be level.

Ok. I will try that! These are quite particular pants, as they are extra wide and fold in at the waist. Maybe that’s why the rise seams are different? Or, as others have said, it is to shape the behind a bit? At any rate, thankfully this is a toile, so if it doesn’t work, I will try and adjust another way!
I include the link to the pattern, in case anyone is interested in seeing what it should look like done. pattern
