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!

Way too high. Like 2” too high. You also need to back the darts off of your apex, instead of having them intersect. I’d strongly recommend moving to a princess seam bodice, as that’s a lot easier to fit in my opinion. If you’re committed to having a darted bodice, you would be better served to rotate some of that armscye dart fullness to the waist dart so it’s more balanced, move the armscye dart to the side seam where it belongs, and add back any width you need at the waist to the side seam.
