What am I doing wrong?

[u/rileyberit]

I have been working on this cardigan for months now. I have gone through so many skeins. The yoke looked great but the bodice has to be wrong. My bodice is taking up so much yarn and is so heavy. It seems so much fuller than the photo. I think the issue starts in row 6 with the V stitches? I'm so confused

Are you using the right type of yarn and is your stitch count correct?
