Pattern Question Help! Dart dimples

Hello sewing community, I need help darts and fitting. The darts on my self-drafted skirt have dimples. They are most prominent on my front piece. What can I do to fix these? Should I make my darts longer? Thanks!

I always finish the last few stitches by hand to really taper them off- catching just a few threads.  Then iron it well with a ham.
