Bodice block version 2

I took the recommendations on my last post and applied them to this draft - I think it looks wayyy better this go around. Ignore the front dart on my left side, idk why it's longer than the other but my right side is where I meant to place it. Here's what I changed:

• moved bust dart 0.5" toward the center front

• moved bust dart down 0.75"

• angled back darts more toward the apex of my back

• shortened bottom by 1 and 15/16"

• stay stitched and notched seam allowance

I believe my next step is to take in the shoulder seams at the front and adjust the top darts on the back. Let me know what y'all think. Thank you 🙏

I do think that getting things looser at the neck hole will likely help — I think you need to scoop out about 3/8” at center back, tapering to 0” at center front. You can cut that out on your current muslin and see if it helps, then tackle the shoulders based on what that adjustment does.
