getting rid of bust darts

Jun 17, 2006 3 Replies

ok, i should remember how to do this, but i don't... i'm adapting a pattern for a Ren bodice & i need to get rid of the not-period bust darts (Simplicity 7756/0637). it has a dart from bust point to waist & laces up the front. i'm using it for my Shinrone adaption, so there won't be any boning (not that i have anything to support anyway ) thanks in advance lee

have you had a chance to make up Margo's pattern yet? lee

Ye gods, no! I'm up to here with weddings at present. No time and no space to cut it out, never mind sew it! I have yet to get back to the Simplicity thing and finish that! Got out of sorts with it when I did the ruff wrong - I'll have to do that again, dammit!

Oh, and I just acquired some of Wild Ginger's pattern making softwear, and I've been playing with that today - and making a bag on my 1909 Jones handcrank!
