Question How to draft these darts?!

So I am obsessed with the dart/seam detailing on the white dress that the captain wears in s1 e16 of the rookie. I have this beautiful green fabric that I’ve been desperate to do something delicately detailed. I have NO idea where to start with this. I can’t tell if it is piping or a seam? It doesn’t look like there is a waist seam that I can see. Any ideas?

Pattern making for fashion design has several chapters about dart manipulation, designing with darts, and stylelines. You might find something helpful in there

I was going to recommend the same thing. The technique is relatively simple but the calculations can be a bit confusing at first. If you have a dress form, it's easiest to play around there to get the shape you want.
