One of the most annoying problems with darts on sewing patterns is to finally get the dress or blouse to fit right, but the dart ends up above the bustline or below the bustline.  We know it looks funny with the dart not pointing TO the bustline, but rarely does the home sewer know what to do about it.  Regardless of the size pattern you're using, the "dart" problems remain, as illustrated here:

Our "Darts That Fit and Flatter" class addresses this problem, and provides easy illustrated instructions on how to correct this dart problem, as well as how to change the darts into various positions on the garment, or how to remove the dart completely.  This class is now available in two size ranges - S - XL at PatternsThatFitYou.com/DartsThatFit.htm and for the plus sizes 1x - 8x you'll find the class information at BigBeautifulPeople.com/Darts.htm.    The information in these classes will be of great help in getting the store bought patterns to fit properly and look like a professionally fitted garment.
