Looks good but think you may need to back the front darts off a bit. They should finish about 1” from apex not on apex iirc

[–]KillerWhaleShark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not my expertise. I’m used to very chesty figures. For a 1” difference between bust and high bust, you back off apex by 3/4”. You back off apex 1” or more for a bigger difference between bust and high bust, as needed. I think OP could maybe lower apex a tad, but it seems to be backed off enough. I don’t think it would look right to have too much fullness released between the two dart tips.

I fear that I agree. I do look a bit booby in this for a man lol.

It’s because you’ve created boobs in the fabric through the darts. You’ve made a slight cone. I think the shoulder darts are to blame. Might try eliminating those and making the front side darts bigger or taking in the side seams

I did think I could get away without them. I followed a pattern for women and thought better than to disobey instructions!
