 What is Dart in Sewing?

Darts are used for dressmaker’s point marks. It is a technique which used to give proper shape to the garments by curving straight fabric to the body. Darts are producing by stitching a long, thin confine to a point, which is then pressed down to one side. Dart manipulation is a technique for moving darts around a block or sloper to create good fit or create new design

More about darts:
All darts emit from rounded shapes of the figure. The bust is rounded, not pointed. If the dart is tacked to the edge of pivotal point, strain lines will appear around the bust, distorting the fit of the garment. The dart should end at a distance from the bust point to release fabric (fullness) for the bust pile.
