Altering a pattern for a 'non-existent' bum on the little one.

My daughter has NO bum, meaning that it's literally as flat as a wall from the neck to the end. So, all her pants are REALLY baggy on the bum, and fall off. She's 4 years old, wears 18-24 month pants, and the waist still falls off (she has short legs, too). My question…


How do you alter a pattern for a flat bum? I know there's too much fabric height-wise, because the crotch will fall down around her mid-thigh when the waistband is comfortably around her waist (she also has a super long torso, and low-waist). But also width-wise, because there's so much bagginess around the hips.


Anyone come across some awesome tutorials for this one? :)
