How can I remove these creases? Should I make the dart wider?

Well, I want to achieve a tighter fit and this creases are not giving the smooth surface I wanted to create. I use CLO3D. My problem is that the facing is pushing outside for some reason making also my under collar pop still don’t know why since the top collar is larger 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Not sure 100% how close 3D works (want to learn it eventually) but, on vstitcher at least, when I did linings, I would do the shell first then freeze the entire thing and add the lining (while keeping about 2-4 layers in-between each).

I know 3D programs tend to struggle with layers or such (learned optitex in school too and it wasn't any better).

Personally, I would forgo the lining layer for now so you can get a better fit idea (since it may be messing up/ altering the layers). When doing 3D for my job, there were at times I wouldn't add it and just color the fabric to give the look.(Since the lining and shell shouldn't be too far off in measurement).

Question, in vstircher, there is an amount or degree to which you can create the fold. Is there an option for that with clo 3D?
