Now let us see the Button side darts,
For this reader based on her bust size (40 inches)
the dart measurements would be as follows
Center dart
X-O = 3.5inches
A-B= 3.0 inches
O-C = 3.0 inches
Armhole Dart
M-N= 1 inch
Length of armhole dart = 4.5 inches
Between C & L distance should be 2.5 inches
Button side dart
Length = 2.5 inches
width = 1 inch (E-F)
Stitch the dart lines as straight lines to get perfect shape. Too much space between C & L will not give a perfect bust mound shape, so take care , make a test fit and alter measurements a little bit by 1/4 inch give or take depending on your custom fit.
Hope this post was of help to the reader.

ReplyDeletehelo aditi amma. Thanks for your posts. I am learning blouse stitching at home and referring your all post for blouses.
ReplyDeleteHere, I am getting problem in calculation. please help me and guide me as a beginner.
e.g
Bust round and bust size is same?
if same : X-O = 1/12 bust round + 1 inch
so, X-O = 1/12 of 40 + 1 = 4.3
and you written X-O = 3.5 inches
same kind of measurement difference on others

ReplyDeletedarts while marking measurement.
adithis amma, i like to learn pants draft and cutting , can you help me? please. vijay.wendt
ReplyDeletei think u cal culated x-o, o-c, a-b all wrong could u please explain? i am getting confused.
ReplyDeleteI rechecked the draft and the formula calculations are correct and as mentioned in this post.
ReplyDeleteAcc. to your formula x-o=4.3,o-c=2.8 while as per msmt given by you x-o=3.5,o-c=3.pls explain,how you got this figure?Eagerly waiting for your reply.
ReplyDeleteX-o is 3.46 rounded off to 3.5
DeleteO-c = x-o - 1/2 inch which is = 3.0
A-b = o-c
O-c has been mistyped and has been changed . The formula is right, use it according to your measurements
