Double vertical darts

A quick test in muslin of the new underbodice front piece draft. The draft worked out okay, in the sense of it being correct for the kind of style it's supposed to be, but it's not fitted enough to be corsetish for what I'm doing. The side isn't completely pinned down here, but when it is, it's still loose below the bust down through the waist and hips.

I was reading an article about altering these standard double vertical darts and will have to check it out again before I redraft this. The other issue is the side dart, which doesn't look like it will work for where the top of the underbodice should run.
