Dart

Sewing a non-elastic fabric does not allow the shape of the body to be follwed accurately. Making a dart is a way to get around this issue and to handle the body volumes. A dart is made by folding the fabric and sewing that fold to form a “dart”, which is an amount of fabric that is hidden on the wrong side of the garment. On the right side, the garment creates a curve along the dart seam. One typical example is the bust dart.
