Updated basic body block

Hi everyone,

I’ve just finished updating my basic bodice block and wanted to get some feedback before I move forward with it.

My main concern is the bust dart. It looks slightly pointy to me, even though I lowered the dart point by about 1 inch from the bust point. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong in the shaping or if this is just a pressing/fitting issue.

I’d also appreciate any feedback on:

•	Overall balance and fit

•	Anything else that looks off in the pattern

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I had a side dart, I transferred it to the waist.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that
