In this video I would love to share with you how I remove the dart or minimize the dart in the pattern. I use this method to redirect the dart volume into other parts of the pattern as well as when constructing jacket and shirts. This will help you understand how to work with dart volume and what is the difference in the garment with our without a dart.

I really appreciate that you jump right in with instruction!! Many other people babble and giggle so much before actually showing anything useful. Thanks also for your clear drawing and explanation. I will definitely give these methods a try as I hate the look of bust darts and much prefer garments that drape naturally. Thanks :)

Very helpful, thank you! I'm 60 yrs old, my bust has fallen to my waistline and darts have become my Nemesis! Now, I can conquer the madness!

I realized pretty much as soon as you started that this video would not help with what I'm trying to do (make something that was curved with a dart flat, think removing a bust dart so that a vest could fit a man), but I ended up watching the whole thing anyway because it was fascinating and informative right out of the gate, I'll definitely be checking out more of your patterning content

@kingsIayerrr 3 дня назад

this is exaclty what im trying to figure out too 😭 have you seen a video that helped you figure it out?

@dianneunderwood8456 8 месяцев назад

Such very useful information. Am planning to make a jacket without darts and this has been what I need to accomplish the pattern drafting. Thank you so much!

@vanityshop5155 8 месяцев назад

I don't understand how this works, in theory. That 1.5" dart bulk would have been sewn, decreasing the length of the side seam and overall perimeter. But here, we're taking that amount of dart bulk and distributing it around the pattern without sewing any of it away. Therefore, wouldn't the pattern become 1.5" too big in perimeter?

@dale3404 2 года назад

Perfect timing! I have a gaping armhole on a new pattern and don’t want a dart. Yay! ❤️

@user-gb6nj8it3k Год назад

This was a HUGE help! Very easy to understand and just what I needed to understand how to do this!

@gloriaodiah7493 Год назад

Thank you very much. This means you measured and redistributed what you got to different angles of your choice. I hope I am right!

@ThoughtfulCreativity Год назад

That's right! The dart is there to accommodate the volume (hips, bust, neck or whatever it is), so you can't just get rid of that volume, otherwise you won't fit into the garment and it will pull over those areas. So you have to let the dart "out" somewhere.

Great instructions. Would like to see the same for the back. Thanks for such clear and concise directions.

@nancyheneghan4760 2 года назад

Thank you so much. I am short, heavy and small chested so getting blouses don’t fit me well with darts and the arm holes are always too large. This was very helpful

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Nancy, for the gaping armhole - take a look at my previous video in the knit bodice block series - it will show you how to get that taken care of :)

@mmebirdie7125 2 года назад

Thank you for this tutorial. I need to remove bust darts as I have had a double mastectomy and dresses and tops with darts look horrible on me. I am wondering what to do with a sleeve if the armhole has been made bigger, do I add the extra on the side seams of the sleeves or on the cap? Thanks again.

@rhonddalesley Год назад

Hi, there’s a couple of different ways that I know of and one is to slash and spread the sleeve in three sections (one in the middle and the others a couple of inches or so on either side) down to the bottom of the sleeve then smooth the top of the cap off. Or, you can cut the cap off and do the same thing then stick it back on which doesn’t add any width to the bicep, either of these can make the sleeve cap taller but that can be sorted by shaving a bit off the top. I hope that makes sense and is helpful. There are RU-vid videos about it maybe titled ‘how to make a sleeve cap wider’ or something like that, good luck and have fun with it 😊

@khalajanskitchen7456 2 года назад

Very helpful video with clear instructions , thanks for sharing your knowledge . 👍👍

@purplebouquetnn2956 2 месяца назад

Thank you. This is concise, helpful and informative. If you add 1/4 to the front armhole, do you alter the front sleeve accordingly or do you simply ease in the extra length? Also, may I add a fifth option of where to rotate the bust dart to? 1/4 to 1/2 could be eased into the sideseam and the dart roof, blended into a curved seam.

@Julia-xf5ps Год назад

Has anyone done what I do ?? ….and that is sew a gathering stitch in the side seam just where the bust dart is and loosely gather it , distributing the fullness, then just sew up the side seam like normal? 😊 On loose fitting blouses, this seems to work well for me.

@glitzyeyezz5252 8 месяцев назад

Hi Alisa, I drafted my two dart bodice block with the help of your bodice with darts video. In this video you show only the bust dart. How to turn a two dart bodice block into a dartless one?

@ThoughtfulCreativity 8 месяцев назад

You simply don't sew the waist dart and leave it as is. Bust dart needs to be moved and let out somewhere where it would not create awkward puckering, but would retain the same amount of fabric to accommodate the volume of the bust, with the waist dart - it is already at the hem, just leave it as is and don't sew it.

@glitzyeyezz5252 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Alisa. I’m learning so much from your channel. I will try out your suggestions. ❤ please keep up the good work.❤

@carlapalazzo7973 2 года назад

What's this method called?

@Reem288 2 года назад

Ty! ❤️ -- i have a Qs pls, so when you “distributed” a small amount of the dart in the neck and shoulder lines, why when you moved the actual dart and opened it in the armhole/ bottom - why didn’t you minus the amounts of the shoulder & neck? …. Like why did we move those if the dart amount was entirely put in armhole & bottom… pls advise- ty 🙏🏼

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Hello there, I read your comment three times and can't make sense of it. Please watch the video again, everything is explained.

@raccoola5089 Год назад

I noticed the same thing when she got to the armhole and showed the option of matching up the dart lines entirely (which wouldn't have subtracted the neck and shoulder amounts i think), but when she did her final adjustment for the armhole and taped it down, that was only 1/2" so in the end I think she did end up with 1/2" armhole, 1/2" hem, 1/8" neckline, 1/4" shoulder, which roughly equalled the starting dart measurement.

@lankabhumi1114 9 месяцев назад

Is it possible to just take off the bust dart and sew without transferring?

@alecoloxa 2 года назад

Thank you Elisa!. I'm starting with my classes of pattern manipulation, I have a question: what happens if I leave the dart without eliminating it but doesn't sew it?? Thank you!

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

You will have a longer side seam in the front than in the back and you won't be able to match the side seams. Do a test of what you're wondering about and see what happens - the best way to learn.
