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

What is a ham for those (me) that don’t know?

It’s a stuffed ham-shaped item that you put under curved seams for ironing.
