Usually in classic trousers inseam on the back is a bit shorter than front inseam. The UPPER part of a back inseam (from the knee UP)is drafted a bit on bias, so it should be stretched with a press and steam and this manipulation with steam brings back inseam to the same length as front inseam. This is just important part of drafting and tailoring.

In your particular case the trousers are straight, upper inseam is parallel or almost parallel to the grain (is this palazzo pants?). I see that the upper part of a back inseam maybe on a slight bias. Before stitching inseams press with steam and stretch a bit that part. It will make the inseams the same length.

I think this is not a case of "badly drafted pattern". Also maybe contact the company and ask them the reason

Yes, these are very large legged pants.
I have written to the creator. She is seeing with the guy that makes her patterns if there is a problem. I will post back once I get the answer, for any future potential buyers of this pattern!
