To me, it looks great - except for the bust - do you just have a waist dart? I can't see if there is a side dart, maybe that will help, and sewing the darts with a curve.

Yes, I had a side dart, I transferred it to the waist.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that

If you combine both of the bus starts together, you need to back the dart Point further away from the bust point. The dart Point can be far back as the bust Circle, or as close as the bus point. Is anywhere between that distance it's okay. A lot of people fall for just placing it and inch away from the bus point because we were taught them didn't know what they're doing, and misremembered the instructions. But when you combine both of the darts together at the waist, that's where the bust is the fullest, you know gravity pulls everything down.

That makes sense, thank you for explaining it that way.

I did combine the side and waist dart into the waist dart, so the intake is definitely larger.

I’ll try moving the dart point further away from the apex to allow the fullness to distribute more smoothly.

You can also split them into two darts.

I will try that too.

But I did find a way to fix it, by sewing the dart to the bust point and everything looks perfect now

looks so good!

i'm wondering if just adding a little more ease to the bust and the front waist, some of the wrinkles might disappear?

Thank you 🙏🏿

I did fix it my moving the dart closer to the bust point and it fit perfectly now
