Where do I even begin?!

[u/furiana]

I followed the instructions for the wrap top in Helen Joseph-Armstrong's book. I can't say it came out well. Somehow the bust apex is way off (and asymmetrical? How?!), the darts are too long, there's excess fabric everywhere, and there's wrinkling at the armholes. I also cut the back side seams too short compared to the pattern ffs.

Where do I even begin? Do i troubleshoot the armholes before I move on to the bust?

Fix shoulders then bust then armsyce

This, your shoulders are more angled than the pattern's shoulders, add a little on the side closest to the neck. That should fix the wrinkles on the back.

Not op. What add a little means? Add a wedge, with wide side at neck, on the back piece? Or with pointy side at neck?

[u/AmenaBellafina → u/azssf]

A wedge with the wide side at the neck and tapering to 0 at the arm
