I usually add an inch to my front pattern piece to accomodate a bust dart. On knits, you can run a row of long stitches, ( I use 5.0 length of stitch) and pull up a little and then ease the front to the back at the side seams and it hardly shows at all.
This is what it looks like on the outside.
This is the finished top.
I hope I didn't over simplify but that's really all there is to it!
Happy sewing from
Oh my Diana, I love this top. The fabric is gorgeous and the sleeve detail is so pretty. What pattern is this? I think I may have it :)))
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I will definitely use your idea on my knit tops. I don't care for the bust darts on knit tops. Thank you.
