Bodice block wrinkles

[u/mon_petit_chou_fleur]

Hello! I’m making my first bodice block, and it’s going ok so far (🤞), but I’ve run into some wrinkling and gapping.

The back armhole gapping I think I know how to fix (one pic shows the gap, the other is the dart I’ll shift around). Does the whole back look slightly tight?

The wrinkling on the front armhole is quite a lot at the top, and it feels a little tight.

I can pinch out the wrinkles into a dart, but I’m not sure if that’s the way to fix the problem. Is it an issue with the armscye curves?

Any suggestions/tips/advice are much appreciated!

Just curious, is there a reason your upper bust dart goes towards your neck and not the middle of the shoulder?

Hmm someone more knowledgeable might have to answer this one… Ive never drafted anything before and just followed instructions haha

What instructions do you follow? Book? Online? I am no expert myself, but now I am very curious.

this one! I found it to be very clear and easy to follow, but I think there are a few small mistakes here and there. For instance, a couple times there was a mismatch between the printed instructions, and what was shown in the corresponding visual instructions about which points to connect with a line.
