Hi there. How would you remove the dart without adding extra fabric?

@thesewingretreat1205 Жыл бұрын

Because there is no waist shaping, you could get away with not adding that extra volume. If you had waist shaping as well, you would need to add that extra volume because it needs to go somewhere :)

Can I use this method on a fitted gown?

@thesewingretreat1205 Жыл бұрын

Hey Abigail, this would depend on the design :). If you're creating a gown with a fitted bodice it's likely you're going to need the darts. Instead, you could pivot the dart elsewhere depending on your desired look and fit. When you remove the bust dart it creates a more oversized bodice.

Hi and thanks for the video. Any possibility of drafting this without starting with darted block?

@thesewingretreat1205 3 жыл бұрын

Heyy there, yer so you can draft an oversized block (which would be without the dart) and Metric Pattern Cutting for womenswear shows you how to do that. It's my fave pattern cutting book. Here's the link to it amzn.to/3ptxmIP I hope that helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to drop me a dm on Instagram instagram.com/thesewingretreat/ 😀

@@thesewingretreat1205 hi I’m wondering if you know which method would get better results for an oversized garment? Is it the same or does this method add any sort of shaping even with darts removed?

@thesewingretreat1205 2 жыл бұрын

@@Vstrum Heyy, drafting an oversized block is better as it'll already have design ease added to make it more oversized. But if you don't have a dartless block then you can use this method and add in extra design ease so you already have a starting point.

Can you please do a video removing a side dart from a bodice? Help? 😊

@thesewingretreat1205 2 жыл бұрын

So, it's just the same and you wouldn't need to pivot the dart. Just start from the point where the dart is at the side :) Feel free to drop me a DM on Instagram @thesewingretreat and I can explain further if you're still unsure 🥰

Wouldn’t the underarm seam now become longer by extending that last line? Everything else looks great

@thesewingretreat1205 Жыл бұрын

Hey Beau, apologies for the delayed response. So, the underarm seam will stay the same and the side seam will be longer but you can curve it up at the side to shorten it whilst still keeping the extra length at the front that you'll need :). Feel free to come and say hey over on Instagram and pop any other questions over instagram.com/thesewingretreat/

Is this not going to affect back side seam?

@thesewingretreat1205 2 жыл бұрын

Great question. Yes, so anything you add to the side seam must be added to the back side seam too. Extend back side seam down to match the same measurement as front side seam 😃

@@thesewingretreat1205 Thanks...will the garment not elevate up in front, because the excess that was in front was to accommodate the bust.

@thesewingretreat1205 2 жыл бұрын

@@level2456 Hey there, sorry for the delayed response. No, because you've added extra to this area to allow for this. I do recommend only doing this if you have a smaller bust size though as it won't sit well on a larger bust. Or, if you have a larger bust add in extra ease and then it will sit better as it will be more oversized :) Here's my tutorial on adding in ease to create an oversized garment: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arCopZt_mpvSnIE.html Send me some photos on Instagram message if you give it a go 😍 instagram.com/thesewingretreat/
