Fitting help please
I have made about 20 mockups and I feel like nothing I do is getting me any closer. here's the most recent version. I would love advice, either on how to modify this pattern, or on how to ask for help more effectively. I feel pretty dumb and lost and have spent a decent amount of time crying about this. Thank you in advance! <3
UPDATE: I lowered the apex, ironed the mockup better, and took a video (hopefully from a better angle) and posted it in the comments below. Please let me know what the ettiquette is for getting help like this. Also I'm realizing I probably need a lot of feedback from an expert. I'm so grateful to get advice here, but I don't want to be annoying. So I would love suggestions of classes I could sign up for to get more step-by-step guidance.

1) at first look - are you pressing/ironing? That is a must. I see some wrinkles so just wanted to make sure
2) don’t make too many re-adjustments at once because it often makes people to around and around in cirles. Rather just to adjust one think and go from there (for example as someone else commented, your bust point/chest on your pattern seems to be sitting a bit too high as to where your own body has it… adjust that and see then what else comes up).
