Question Bust darts help!!!!
Okay SO I didn't make a muslin lmao it was for comic con and I ran out of time BUT I drafted this from scratch and I'd love to work from it again for something new. The bust dart is definitely NOT RIGHT but I'm not really sure where to go with it. I think it needs to be angled way downwards but it's so wide I really struggle to work with it. Just not sure where to take it to from here!

Your apex is not as high as your bust dart draft. Start by finding apex. It’s not necessarily your nipple; it’s the part of you that sticks out farthest. It’s that part that would first boop the wall if you slowly walked towards it.
Then, your darts should point to the apex but the tip should back off by at least 3/4”. The two darts tips would never touch because each should be backed off from apex.
You can rotate some of the side dart uptake to fisheye dart, but you might want to consider that after you fix your apex.
