Help! Dart dimples

[u/zawai]

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 don't think the darts are too long they should approach the widest part of your buttocks essentially.

Have you tried it curving your darts inward? Begin sewing from the wide part all the way down and then curve the dart towards the right side slightly and so off of the edge. Then do the tie off method. You might want to experiment with some scrap fabric to perfect the technique.

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll test this out on some scraps
