Transformational Reconstruction - Week 2



To transfer the dart, I started with a basic bodice pattern and drew on an alternative dart, adding a notch as it was curved. Next I cut open all three of the darts and taped the two original ones shut. This opened up my new dart. I placed the altered pattern piece on spot and cross paper, traced around it then added a 1cm seam allowance. I also moved the bust point down 2cm to avoid having a pointed bust. I experimented on another basic block by transferring the dart to a different position.


For an asymmetric design, a full bodice block must be used. Like before, I cut open the darts and taped the waist darts shut. I then drew my first dart from the waist to the opposite bust point. After cutting this open I taped the shoulder darts shut. My second dart went from the bust point to the armhole.
