Flare Skirt: Unbalanced Side Seam

You chose to raise the center back seam. This was not the correct choice.

Raising the center back may make the side seam appear straight, however it will skew the back grainline- notice how it skews to the left. The side seam will remain unbalanced, and most likely kick forward when made in final fabric. The correct answer is to balance the side seam using drafting techniques.
