DEFINING DARTS
UNDERSTANDING THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DARTS AND HOW THEY WORK
Darts are a powerful tool of the Patternmaker to make flat fabric into 3D shapes for the garment. Therefore, understanding how darts work is a vital part of manipulating them to fit your design.
WHAT IS A DART?
A pattern dart is where excess fabric is taken in on the garment. Typically, a dart is recognized by its triangular shape on the pattern piece. However, the darting of the fabric can take on other shapes.
WHAT DOES A DART DO?
The purpose of a dart is to create the shape to accommodate the curves, contour, and volume of the body or the design.
PATTERNMAKING PRINCIPLES
“Darting” excess fabric to create shape follows three main principles:
Dart Manipulation - How the location of a dart is changed within the pattern. A dart can be transferred to any other point around the pattern (in relation to the pivotal point - bust point) without changing the fit of the garment.
Adding Fullness - Applies when the excess fullness needed is greater than that of the dart. The slash and spread technique is used to add fullness where desired.
Contouring - Absorbing the dart excess into style lines to create a contoured silhouette.
