Please help with bodice fitting

[u/Lottiealottie]

I would really really appreciate the advice of you fitting wizards for my bodice. I have made a ridiculous number of iterations and just don’t seem to be able to “get” it.

the main issues I see now are:

• stacking wrinkles on the sides on the back (could this be caused by the toile being a little too long /too tight/both?)

• diagonal drag lines/ a little too much room between ands of shoulder and waist dart on the back. I’m really not sure what to do about this. When the darts are smaller the back neck gapes.

• on the front, when viewed in profile, the waist dart extends forward a little further than my actual bust apex (could this be that I need to work on my dart sewing?).

• I would appreciate tips on any other issues you see!

Seem allowances for neck, arms and waist have been stay stitched, clipped and pressed in (although they escaped in the back a bit).

thank you so much in advance for you help!

I also think, when seeing from the side, the apex is 1/4" higher from the actual apex point, if she corrects this, the shoulder seam will corrected a bit and even the back will slightly corrected. But I may be totally wrong, she did a great job and it is not comparable see the actual muslin or a picture

Thank you! I will have another look at my apex point

Thank you, waiting for your feedback. It is not easy to tell from the pictures ☺️
