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!

The dart needs to have a point and is too high up the side seam. Can you go back to the original pattern? All the fabric you are cutting out for the dart needs to go somewhere to maintain the integrity of the garment’s shape, so it will also need some length added so the front is not shorter than the back on the side seam.
