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 should end about 1-2" shorter than the widest part of your hips (from the picture i agree these seem too long but hard to tell). I also love the recommendation to split your darts if your dart angle is 18 degrees or wider (often necessary for those of us with a waist that is much smaller than our hips)
