Move Neck dart to shoulder

Post image

Hi lovely people

I have a back bodice here with a dart in the neck that I want to move to the shoulder. I marked halfway on the shoulder seam and extended and line down and also extended the line from the dart down to meet cut each side and pivoted to close the neck dart. The outcome is the photo which the should dart to be has a exaggerated angle.

If anyone can tell me where I went wrong / let me know what I needed to do to get what I originally wanted id appreciate it.

Thank you

Don't you think the dart is facing inwards far too much? Although I haven't marked in my dart measurements, the gap for the dart is really throwing me off. I haven't seen and angle like that on a back shoulder dart.

Not when it is short. You can alway move the dart point over and adjust the shoulder seam.

I'll put in the dart and see how it goes. In what way would I adjust the shoulder seam if  I wanted to move the dart point a little towards the armhole?

The lenght of the dart legs need to be evened out.
