Princess Seam Top

In this demonstration, I will show you how to remove darts from a woven bodice block and create a princess seam. 

Image row 1.

I have traced off the bodice bloke, cut it out and then cut one of the top and bottom lines.  I have cut the lines so I can close the bottom dart demonstrated on row 2. 

Image row 2.

I have closed the bottom dart and now the shoulder dart has almost doubled in width.  I am going to close this by creating a dart at the armhole.  The line is drawn below from the bust/apex/

Image row 3.

I have closed the shoulder dart and now I have a dart at the arm hole.  In the 2nd picture I have moved the apex slightly so this is not directly over the bust point. 

Image row 4. 

Extend a curved style line down from the apex / dart point to the hem. 

 Image row 5.
You now have all of your front pieces.  This was created without seam allowance so be sure to include in your project.
