            Objectives

           At the end of this lesson you shall be able to
           •  know about the Style lines and their classification.
           •  complete a garment with different style lines.
           •  understand about classic princess line, armhole princess line & panel princess line..
           •  know about different style lines and their variations

            Style lines


           1  Style Lines
           Style lines fall into two classifications

           •  Those that cross over the bust and those that do not.
           Style lines that are crossing over the bust, replacing dart legs with style seams that absorb dart excess within
           stitch lines to control the fit of the garment are called Princess Line. These type style lines are dart equivalents.

           Style lines not crossing bust point are not dart equivalents and called Panel style lines.
           2  Classic Pricess style Line
           Design Analysis
           The classic princess is distinguished by a style line that starts at the front and back waist darts, continues over
           bust points and shoulder blades, and ends at mid-shoulder dart of the back (position of dart point can vary to
           improve style line).
           Style lines (dart equivalents) replace darts. The design can be based on the one- or two-dart pattern. (The two-
           dart pattern is illustrated)






















           Pattern Plot and Manipulation

           Front Bodice (Fig 1)
           •  Trace front of two-dart pattern.
           •  Draw style line from mid-shoulder (in line with back shoulder dart) to bust point and from bust point to dart leg
              at waist.
           •  Cross mark for ease control notches, 2 inches above and below bust point.
           •  Draw slash line from bust point to dart point of side dart.
