Putting in de sleeves did solve the issue of the darts looking a bit too low, but I think I’ll make them 1 cm longer in the real dress. They should be a bit more towards the center I think.
The cinching (not in pattern) that I added on both sides also works well, so that’s a keeper.
Now I’ll have to wait for more dress work until tomorrow, because I only realised I still needed to wash the black linen I want to use like an hour ago 🤦♀️. (It’s in the machine now)

John Tenniel is famous for illustrating Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass.
Here is his darker depiction of a view through the looking-glass, revealing a seamstress who died doing round the clock overtime to meet the demands of the high-society Season.
One wonders what Tenniel would have made of modern fast fashion.
