Manipulating Darts
Dart:- are used to control fullness and shape the fabric to your body. On a bodice, for example, darts serve to shape the fabric around the curves of the bust. Bust darts are usually placed at the side of the bodice, and at the waist if the bodice needs to be close-fitting through the torso.
This traditional placement of the darts may look "clunky" and old-fashioned in many styles. The solution isn't to eliminate the darts - that would ruin the fit of the bodice - but rather to manipulate them so they become a part of the style of the bodice.
