Trouble lining up the bodice and pants

Hello,

I'm currently sewing my first Oliver & S pattern, and love it. The instructions are so clear. Unfortunately, I've become stuck, but it's not the fault of the pattern, rather me I think!!


I am at the final stage of pinning the pants to the bodice, to sew the two pieces together. However, I've tried to pin and baste multiple times but my pieces just don't match up. The pants part seems to be too big - I think I must have made my seams too narrow (or too wide on the bodice part).


Is there a way to rescue it so that I can reduce the circumference of the pants part?? I hope this makes sense?
