Basic Dart Manipulations in Women's wear {Two Darts}

This post is a continuation where I will explain how to transfer only shoulder dart of Basic bodice Front to get neckline, centre front horizontal, side seam oblique or armhole dart. As the waist dart of Basic bodice Front is not transferred, we have two darts. 


All single darts end exactly at bust point where as two or more darts end 2 cms. away from bust point.
Similar to Single darts, for this process as well you have to use Basic Bodice Sloper (till waist).
