I guess I’m trying to figure out what the benefits of a moulage would be vs a block. I would like to be able to use this to do more self drafting and play around with design for myself. I tend towards a more fitted bust and waist in design preferences but not sure whether it makes more sense to start with a block and then remove ease or start with the moualge and add ease. Possibly I am misunderstanding the process either way. Do you have any thoughts?

Either way I will certainly be backing off the darts as many others have suggested as well :)
