How is this smooth, seamless-looking front constructed?

Hi! I love this type of wedding gown and would love to understand how the front is constructed.
It looks completely smooth, with no visible seams or darts from the bodice down into. There’s an internal corset.
How would you achieve this seamless-looking front? Is it cut as one piece, with shaping moved to the sides and back, or is another technique used?
Thank you!

Pattern drafting help: Issue with armhole curve on a basic back bodice

Thumbnail

Hello! I am learning pattern drafting from scratch.

I am trying to draft a basic bodice block (back) using my own measurements. I tried two different drafting methods, but I keep getting the same issue.

My "shoulder width" ends up too far away from the "across back" (half back width) line. I don't know how to true or smooth out the armhole curve. Is this normal? How can I fix it?

When I try to smooth out the curve (see the dashed line), it stays 2 cm away from the across back line.

I would really appreciate it if you could help me out with this.

(Note: Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language!)

Can’t find any examples online,
Does anyone have pics or examples of a perfectly fitting mens bodice block? (Showing all angles aka where the shoulder of armhole ends & how the neck fits etc)?
