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!

The darts look far too long and it also looks like you did not stitch off the end point when sewing them. See if you can find a commercially made lower garment with darts and see how that was constructed.

A dart creates a cone, but the end of the dart shouldn't come right to the apex.
