4.1 Pannel Styleline
The panel style line is not a dart equivalent because it does not pass through
the bust point. The existing darts control fit of the garment.

Design Analysis
The panel style line extends from the waist to mid armhole of the front and
back bodice without passing through bust point. A short side dart intercepts
the panel style line. The panel style line can be varied to create other
designs.
