So I've gathered and basted the waist (eugh) and tried them on. The top half fits very nicely, the straps are perfect length. The pocketses are glorious. Tha bum fits nicely, the length is good.
Bad bit. The center front is very baggy. It's really odd. The critch fits fine, the back panels fit fine, but front center above crotch looks huge when I look down. I've taken pics, because obviously fitting things on yourself is very hard indeed.
Are we thinking it all need ripping apart and inside seams shrinking? inside and outside seams shrinking? (though the legs seem fine) Or can I sort the center front out by taking the seam in there above the crotch? An enteriely different and unforseen problem! Or am I being weird because I'm looking down and they actually look fine.

Hands in pockets spreading the problem area!
And well fitting (I think, for oversized trousers!) back
I'm tempted to draw out a copy of the trouser pattern and shrink them down to normal size rather than oversized as I think they'll look quite nice, might not even have to do such massive gathers!
