Am I the only one who hates seeing folks put darts in the wrong spot on women's blouses?

I was at a sewing meetup in San Antonio last Saturday and watched a woman spend 45 minutes marking darts two inches too low on a cotton poplin blouse. It made the whole top baggy around the bust instead of shaping it right. She was following a pattern from 1985 that clearly had old measurements. Has anyone else noticed how often patterns just don't match modern body shapes anymore?

Did you see that lady's darts or were you just staring at her chest the whole time?

Call them out and see how fast the vintage pattern fans come after you.
