MarrieB left a comment today asking how to move bust darts and I'm so pleased that she did. I had neglected to add this important alteration to my list of things to cover this week. Thank you for the reminder, MarrieB!

Miss P has written, what I feel to be, the best tutorial on moving bust darts. This will be a necessary alteration for many of us, myself included.
MarrieB also asked if this should be done before or after the SBA. I'm in favour of making this
prior to doing the SBA, as I feel moving the dart is less complicated and puts less wear-and-tear on your pattern pieces/muslin than the SBA.

For the ladies with fuller busts, Miss P also discusses in detail how to enlarge a bust dart, which is something you may need to do for the Pastille. Again, she lays out the process in clear steps accompanied by photographs.

Be sure to come back tomorrow when we tackle the swayback alteration!
