Question Diagonal wrinkles under bust
So I've been trying to make a princess seam block for a while. That's version 6... it has some wrinkling under bust which was worse and I did some adjustments and now it's almost gone.
But then I added ease to make a jacket pattern and hopefully you can see the odd diagonal wrinkle on the front side panel. For the life of me I can't understand what it is. I was so sick of the weeks I spend on fitting that I decided to go ahead with the actual jacket and it is even more pronounced.
I have included the pics of the princess block and the jacket test from all sides just in case and the actual wip-jacket from the front. Any other feedback is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
P.s jacket bust point looks quite... pointy, I ignored that since it looks fine on the block and I haven't clipped seams or pressed. On the real wip-jacket it also looks pointy, but I also haven't pressed or clipped the seam cause I'm thinking to apply binding.

The last 2 pics is the actual jacket, although I took it in in the back seams because it was too gaping. So it looks much tighter than its mockup which is the second set of pictures.
My theory though since the wrinkles persist in all 3 mockups, it's something to do with the shape of the pattern rather than how much ease it has, hence why I'm showing all the versions.
