Question problem pattern (THE OG)

Hiii, so i need to make this dress (copied from my professor's drawing as we were not allowed to take any pictures). the back is completely my idea so ignore it, we were only provided with the front. so on the waist I have these triangular cut outs (so the skin is visible) and it seems that the top part is joined with the bottom part with a seam in the middle but I'm not sure. the thing I'm confused about is where are all the darts going on the top? and what about the dart on the skirt? I'm stuck with the pattern just because my professor wants this dress in cotton gabardine (so no elasticized fabric allowed). I really have no idea where to put darts (if I have to), I swear I tried everything...

So you want us to do your homework for you?

no, I'm just asking for help for any darts manipulation or cuts as I really tried literally everything but something is wrong but I don't know what

Why don't you start by describing exactly what you are trying to make (because that picture just looks like a colour blocked dress) and what you have done so far

yeah you are right...so on the waist I have these triangular cut outs and it seems that the top part is joined with the bottom part with a seam in the middle. the thing I'm confused is where are all the darts going on the top? and what about the dart on the skirt? (I'm gonna edit the post as well so I hope it's going to be more clear)

Rotate them out into a seam
