How to eliminate darts from a dress block

[@silvermeasuringspoons6462]

Many thanks for you. I remember following several of your older techniques as well. This is exactly what I was looking for. Never know you can do that to the skirt. I normally just do the princess seam, but this heavy fabric I’m working on is not quite right for any darts.

Can I use this method to sew fitted gowns that's not stretchy or stretchy?

[@wendyubani8080]

I am grateful for your videos

[@amosunchika9492]

Ma please you said that if I want to make it two places that top and skirt, I should measure the waist fill up and share it half to the top blouse and half to the skirt to achieve skirt and blouse, well understood. My question is how do I manage the arm hole side for both front and back blouse to be equal. I have taken my side dart but due to the fill up, my front side is longer by 1 inch, please help. My back waist length is 16 while my front waist length is 18. Please I will await your quick response thanks

[@seamisola]

You’re so hilarious. Thank you for the tutorial, it’s really helpful😘

[@michellesnyder4514]

This was really helpful. Thank you

[@saritakapoor4568]

Very easy to understand unlike some which I have already seen...thanks a lot....😁

[@kweenzazy8685]

Hello E28, this is a wonderful tutorial...but my point of worry is the hip line, it was disjointed during the manipulation process and the hip line is no more perpendicular to the floor, and the side curve isn't as it was before. Please can you clarify me on this

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

Zazy, I tried her method on my pattern and it works. You can redraw the hip line. The side seam can always be manipulated to the shape of the body with fabric. Hope this explanation helps. Peace.

Sister girl! You are heaven sent!!! 🤗

[@adiejosephine5934]

Nicely done, but does this apply to cutting for a blouse too?

[@natalieclements8976]

Amazing tutorial :) thank you for making it so simple!!

[@lovethboss9469]

This method look simple but how do you make up for measurements that are lost in the hip, knee area

[@rhonddalesley]

From what I’ve always understood, it can be helpful to tape a length of paper from the bottom of the armscye to the bottom of the skirt and draw a new curve to smooth out the waist and add the width that you took out back to the bottom side (which shouldn’t be too much)

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

Just true up your lines. It works!

[@faithduale74]

Wow, amazing stuff. Thank u.

[@tamesharodgers3642]

God blessed you I tried it and the dress fits perfect

[@freelancer552]

doesn't this make the side seam longer than it should?

[@jane_posh_clothingsjpc9089]

Please, when stitching a dartless dress, do you use exact measurements to close the sides

I need to know how to make the basic patterns. Please

[@galaxy6plus58]

Thank u. It is very helpful

[@marvelous2950]

Can this work for any fabric ma . Can it work for stretchy material

[@Ada-kc6pr]

Please what do I do if I want to add a bust dart to these two?

[@marvelous2950]

How many inches did you use on the shoulder dart

[@ayowtfella]

Thank you so much ♥️ This can also be done for a shorts or trouser pattern, right?

[@marvelous2950]

Did you add seam allowance to the pattern ma

[@amosunchika9492]

Good morning ma. Please I need a little clarification ma. I tried this dart manipulation but after every thing, I noticed that my circumference measurement like my hip and others had reduced so please I wanted to ask if I can place the manipulated draft paper on another paper and use it to draft out while increasing my measurement to get my actual measurements correct, please your response means a lot , thanks

[@weyinmeeletu4305]

Thanks dear.L's how do I make d bottom flare still without visible darts. Was thinking of slash and spread but am not getting a proper result. Will be grateful if u can help💕

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

Draw some diagonal lines about half an inch from the side seam to your hem and you will get the flare.

Is the hip not too small now?

[@ifunanyaprecious4883]

Thanks a lot for these

[@colinharder3570]

Wouldn't side seam be too long

[@oluwaseunmayowa-oke368]

Thanks for this video. Honestly I have been trying so hard to get my darts eliminated until I found this video. Please having eliminated the darts and I still feel like adding only the bust dart, can I still go ahead and add it? Thanks once again.

[@teemoo1103]

Thank you so much. God bless you.

[@mogulsm]

Love this!

[@shalomifeanyichukwu]

My question is would this eliminated dart pattern affect the measurements of the person And my second question is am I supposed to use this eliminated darts on the pattern paper to cut directly on the fabric ? Like would there be a need to still put a dart on the fabric ?

[@ifunanyaprecious4883]

Can these work on a busters gown ?

[@Rosanaasf1]

boa noite! linda aula. teria alguma coisa em Portugues?

[@oyinkansolakusamotu6001]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. My question is, has this not affected the position of the waist at the side seam? Even the hip line would have been shifted a couple of cms lower.

[@meiping5523]

I have learned something from your. Will try it. Your channel is fun 🙏🙏🙏.

[@tinypurpleplanet]

does this method work for knit fabrics or only woven? thanks for the tutorial!!

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

It will work on both knits and women's. Try it out.

[@Revstyling]

I tried it but then my back and front waist lines didn’t match up anymore at the sides, the armholes too, neither did they align at the hem. If I tried to make it work at any point something would totally be off like if I tried to align it at the hem, the armholes and the waistlines would look so damn off

[@olapejufunmilayo167]

I think you should try again. I practically used the same pattern for the front and back. I only added zipper allowance to the back.

[@Revstyling]

@@olapejufunmilayo167 okay, thank you, I would

[@chidimmalinda3998]

@@olapejufunmilayo167 pls did you add shoulder dart at the back?

@@chidimmalinda3998 no I didn't

[@omokhafeashafoke]

@@olapejufunmilayo167 thank you for this. I’m in the process of using the front pattern for the back as you said because my back wasn’t aligning also. My question is when you tried this method,did it give a fitted look? Your response will be appreciated

[@preciouscaiah3004]

Thank you so much!!!! 😘😘😘😘

[@E28SEWFUN]

You're welcome

[@level2456]

Thanks. How do we make sure side seams are same length

[@TheEmpressCouture]

Measure then and match them up by extending or shortening as required.

[@PrettyKome]

Nice,but d hip measurement will no longer be correct,and might end up not fitting if d person is not using a strechy fabric

[@idaraitohan1093]

So interesting 😂 I'm new here today My questions pls Will the shoulder not be shorter as needed, and when u extend it to the appropriate size, will it not be wider? And 2ndly, will the upper bodies be fitted? Thanks

[@joywodo4804]

Thanks for the tutorial. Those your eyes heeeen. Pls don't look at baba Sikira too much o make e no lock u down o. Thanks

[@E28SEWFUN]

Lol.... I'm already locked down😂😂😂😂

[@seamisola]

I have always transferred my shoulder dart to the side because I didn’t really know how to go about it. Thank you so much!❤️❤️

[@E28SEWFUN]

You're welcome

Covid has scattered all the plan oo but we thank God we are still alive

[@E28SEWFUN]

Hmmmmm.. Life is the most important thing... Can't wait for all of this to send..... The world is gonna change after Covid 19

[@kati30]

Whyyyyyyyy you don’t have subtitles for all languages?????😢😢😢😢

[@nelukadesilva]

Is it only for tight dress cant be a bit loosen? and what about skirt dart ,if the skirt longer than knee. Thank you dear for the good explanation

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

If the skirt becomes longer, you can shorten it. A tight dress may mean you need a bigger size. You can add looseness at the side seam...no more than 3/4 inch or your sleeve will become affected.

[@prof.varinderkaur7983]

So nicely explain My question is Is this an Slash and spread method ? And could we eliminate dart with pivotal method ? And how?

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

Well, this method is pivoting in that the dart is placed somewhere else.

[@wendynicholss6886]

This video was brilliant and so well explained but can I ask a question?? Is it possible to remove the darts from the skirt front but leave the darts in the back of the skirt?? I am copying a dress and there are darts in the back but not the front.

[@TheEmpressCouture]

Yes, you can leave the darts in the back alone. You will sew them up during garment construction and achieve your perfect fit.

[@marianugwu7815]

What happens to the lost measurement on the hip

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

True up the line correctly.

[@NairoBIG]

Wow I will try immediately to make this close fitting dress without any darts, and follow up on my comment

[@justbeingTheo]

You are stunning

[@damilolachristianah480]

Thanks for the tutorial. But what if I choose not to put dart on the pattern while drafting since I don't want dart. Is there any implication for this

[@E28SEWFUN]

No there is no implications.... Just draw your slash line as normal

[@Moboyele]

Which is slash line?

[@NairoBIG]

Without darts the garment doesn't hug the body tightly but it's the same size anyway

[@ashatailors319]

Show me the back also how to eliminate

[@marvelous2950]

So that means that the whole darts now come to the waist.

[@marvelous2950]

Ma will it add to the length of the pattern.

[@orokanwanogbonna94]

Thanks darling

[@juliusceazardamalerio9484]

Thanks 👍👍👍

[@sewingmachine_depot]

Please ma, will it still fit as with a dart?

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

No, it eliminates the shaping you get with the dart.

[@sewingmachine_depot]

@@haddiewillsburg1453 I don't get this

[@NairoBIG]

@@haddiewillsburg1453 even if it doesn't 'cinch', it would still have some shaping right? More shaping than a straight dress without any waist darts 🤞🏾

[@connielou8666]

Heya, I have done this for my front bodice pattern piece which originally only had one dart in front the shoulder to bust. I then followed your tips to transfer and then remove it. But now it doesn't look like it will align with the back piece which was designed with no darts originally. Should I transfer a back to to the back and then use the same method as you showed us to remove it so that they will then match up? Thankyou so much for explaining this all so clearly ❤️❤️

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

You just need to true up the lines correctly on your front bodice then match it to the back as was done in the video. Hope this helps.

[@omokhafeashafoke]

@@haddiewillsburg1453 hi, do you mean .tracing out the front pattern for the back and then adding zip allowance? Your response would be appreciated
