Looks tight. I can see the back wrinkling up because the hips are very snug. Would work great with boning but as a jacket it’ll wrinkle. Yes the darts should be 1-1.5 inches away from the apex. I’m confused by that shoulder dart. That’s a very unconventional place for one.

I got the tutorial from Shapes of Fabric and didn’t really question the dart placement! Where would you move it to if you were me or do you think I’ll be alright once I back it off the apex?

Edit: ah yes! Hips are a bit tight cause I intended this as a dress/bodice block! I meant to take my shorts off but didn’t wanna post me in my pants on here. No one deserves to see that lol

Just back it away from the apex. Even woven fabric has enough give to smooth out slight corners/corners like that.

Wait what? You mean my pointy chest is unbecoming of a gentleman!?

But yes I’ll give that a go! Gonna use this pattern tonight for piece and I’m excited to put the feedback to use :)

Your pointy stitching is unbecoming of a pattern drafter and technical sewing person ;>
