G’day all.
I was wondering if someone could help me with dart conversion. I have recently started to do victorian/edwardian period costuming as a hobby, and have drafted my own sloper with a single dart, but in order to get the ‘period’ look, I was wondering if someone knew how to divide darts manually?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

Simba,
I would use my muslin without darts, put it on a dress form or handy model and pin as many of the divided darts as I thought would create the look I was after. Another idea might be to try pin tucks in addition to fitting darts to create the look of multiple darts. I haven't actually done this application but this is where my experimentations would begin.
Good luck with your projects, Alice
