The feed dogs are grabbing the baggy bottom and moving it slightly faster than the tight top, thus pulling it in. (Oh-oh, time for me to find some feed dogs for my saggy bottom. lol)

When one side is longer than its partner, I generally pin both sides in the middle and in quarters (even more when it's a long seam). Then I match up the pins. That way the difference gets distributed evenly.
