The Fitting Struggle Continues...

I had a duh moment and realized I needed to release the fish eye darts. This helped the dress hang much better. I took in the side seams a quarter inch which eliminated 1 inch of the 2 inches of ease through the waist and hip. I think I like the fit more, now, but the darts ... ugh! I am fairly confident I can fix this if I restitch them, curving more and ending tangent to the fold. But now, I am thinking this is just not the right color for me...
