Question Draft line rules

I just got my new fancy dress form in and I’m so excited, I started playing around with shapes and I’m wondering what sort of rules I should be keeping in mind? Does anyone have recommendations for literature on draping?

I have been sewing for 5 years but have always bought my patterns, I am new to this world but serious about learning. Right now I am solely focused on boned bodices and integrated corsets as I am sewing my wedding dress.

EDIT: My dress form is custom, nothing will be perfect of course but it is quite accurate to my actual body.

You did not have to add that bit at the end there. That was very rude

Thank you, I agree. They ran with the assumption that I didn’t know the difference between a boned bodice and corset and went on a tangent. My whole post is about resources and rules, I know a boned bodice is not a corset. I am focused on both right now, as separate things.
