Objectives: At the end of this exercise you shall be able to

Darts are one of the most basic structural elements in dressmaking. Darts are necessary because the body is
not straight and flat but curved. A dart is used to shape a garment around the contours of the body and to allow
freedom of movement, comfort to the wearer and also to make the garment look attractive. Darts are used mainly
on women’s dresses to allow fullness at the bust, hips, shoulders and elbows.
