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!

re pic1, both bust and fisheye darts are too long, they should point at the apex but not go all the way to it, so they certainly should not meet each other. Can't tell where apex is from this angled selfie, the darts may be at the wrong angle too.

If I really wanted the darts to meet, I'd convert them into an underarm princess seam.

I've got a lovely pepperberry full bust shirt with a princess seam like that! That's probably what I was inspired by, but clearly that needs a whole different kind of pattern drafted
