Great video. Your blouse looks like it would be an excellent example of one that you don't want darts on just from a construction standpoint. I learned a lot. I don't think I will have to "wing it" anymore. thank you
I love this! Typically I use two different methods to create an FBA, none of them allow for extra length in the front. What I do not see mentioned in this video and appears to be critical is the amount to alter. I normally add 1 inch on a regular FBA, do you somehow split that up in these two sections or what is the ratio?
