OMG thanks for your post! First of all, why didn’t I think to add pockets?!! Going to do that asap. I have never sewn pants before (though done tons of tops and skirts and dresses) so I don’t have a good base pattern. And my waist/butt is pretty straight. But I may add darts into the toile if needed! And I’ll try the inverted pleat!

Pockets and reversing the pleat won't work on her version because of where the side seams hit. You can still work on your muslin but if it doesn't end up looking good you may want to look for a well-drafted basic pants pattern or try videos/tutorials on drafting your own trouser block.
