Thank you!
Jan – You’re welcome!
I love your tutorials, but the only tutorial I miss would be- How to iron/press darts. My bodices always look bulky and wrinkly after I ‘ve pressed the darts.. That is why I prefere pricess seam, but there are unfortunatly so many pretty dresses out there with darts.
Thanks Lina! Maybe I’ll have to work on that kind of a tutorial. I don’t sew many clothing items. I sew more home decor items for myself and clients. There aren’t too many darts in home decor projects!
If a dart is on a side seam, you press it downward. If a dart is up and down, you press it outward to the side seam direction.
A couple of possibilities: 1. Are you using the correct size? Do you need to tinker with the fitting? Review your measurements and consider looking at either a full bust adjustment or a small bust adjustment if that seems to be the problem. Google “full bust adjustment”or “small bust adjustment”
2. Is the breast point on the pattern correct for you? (look up “breast point sewing”.
3. Do not “reverse ” the stitching at the point of the dart. Instead, after you have sewn the dart and smoothed out the stitching (to mae sure there is no inadvertent “gathering”, tie the threads to make a knot at the ends of the stitching. Then Iron well.
Hope this helps.
