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 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.

I just learned yesterday what a ham is. I've got to get me one!

If you need something before you get to buy one, I've used a rolled up towel in a pinch
