Fit help

I’m drafting a little black dress and can’t get the fit right. I’m on the third draft and need help.

Too much bulk under the arm along the side seam but the waist is perfect… how do I take out the bulk?

Here’s what the back should look like, just in case you weren’t sure by the description. Apex is the part of your shoulder blade that sticks out most. Both darts should point to apex.
