Bodice Horizontal Dart Gathers


It might be a little hard to see because I am wearing a white cardigan and the sample is white. I learned this really cool technique for adding fullness to a bodice. This one involves adding gathers to one leg of a vertical waistline seam dart. I really like how it looks. This is a sample I had to make for my patternmaking class but I think when I get some free time and finish up some other projects first I want to make a blouse like the purple one I made but with these gathers on each side front and back.

That does look really cute! I loved my sewing class at BYU, that is awesome that you are learning all these techniques!
