Shaping the
Bodice or Body of a Garment
(Darts,
Gathering, Pleats, Tucks)

When making clothes, a flat piece of material
must be shaped so that it will fit on a human figure. There are a
couple of
ways to do this... -Sewing seams to fit a body, such as a shoulder seam,
or princess seams so that the garment
lies on the body.
-Shape the garment by sewing pleats, darts, or gathering. |
