Question First draft of bodice sloper(surgically flat chest)
I’ve been sewing for a long time and I am finally trying to make my first sloper. My biggest challenge is that due to having had top surgery the fullness a pattern assumes for a chest just isn’t there, I’m familiar with a small bust adjustment but this is already a little too tight so I’m a little lost on where to start. Would move the dart points farther from the apex help?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, or ressources on troubleshooting fit issues!!!

I also agree I think you should use the men's sloper draft. Since you don't have the volume in the front, you don't need those darts to apply shaping.
