Principle
• To increase fullness in a garment to an amount greater than the dart excess provides, the length and/or width
within the pattern’s frame must be increased by slashing and spreading where fullness is needed.

• Adding to the outside of the pattern’s frame increases the amount of fabric in a garment and can change the
silhouette.
