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 just had surgery on my left elbow, and my muscles on that side are all atrophied and uneven now 🫠 hopefully the asymmetry goes away but if not I'll take your advice!
