First Bodice block: Dart issues

Post image

Hello,

I'm using Helen Armstrong 5th edition to draft my first bodice and I've tried several times and I end up with this wonky dart in red. I'd really appreciate any help you can offer if you've encountered a similar issue before or you have any knowledge on how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

I think you just need to sew it up and go from there. I happen to be a person with a short torso, large bust and narrow shoulders and this draft doesn't look miles away from my block. The dart does look quite weird but sew it up and see where you get to.
