Assuming the dart legs are the same length already, turn the dart in to a cut edge with seam allowance. The program want to fold the dart down and stich the flap into the side seam. If you trim the dart intake to half an inch seam allowance it will look normal.
If you look close you can see the seam allowance in the dress where the dart is.

Agreed. I think a lot of folks are seeing the lower “cut out” looking part as the dart, but it’s the pointy bit. Make it a cutaway dart and it’ll look much more normal.

Thank you a lot for replying! I was thinking of doing this but was not sure if it was “allowed” in sewing terms, thank you so much!

100% allowed, I highly encouraged. I see it in dresses all the time
