Dart Equivalents
In the previous page we mentioned Dart Equivalents, and showed that gathers, pleats and tucks fell into this category. What does “Dart Equivalent” mean? Darts are used to create shaping over the contours of the body. The nature of a dart means that it finishes somewhere within the inside of the garment piece in a point. Dart Equivalents use the value of the dart in other ways to create shaping without ending up with a dart point. Dart equivalents are:- gathers
- pleats
- tucks
- design lines
