FASHION TABLE : ARE DARTS REALLY IMPORTANT

-

Have you ever thought of why most of your clothes come with some sewn in lines. Usually two at the front and two at the back.

Many people hate sewing darts, because they just seam like those "must do" activities that have no relevance.

For the non-sewing clan; "Darts are folds (tucks coming to a point) sewn into fabric to take in ease and provide shape to a garment, especially for a woman's bust". They are used frequently in all sorts of clothing to tailor the garment to the wearer's shape, or to make an innovative shape in the garment.
Without a dart, you see diagonal pull lines from the bust to the side seam.  The front just doesn't hang right. The human body is not a cylinder, or a box . A flat (2-dimensional) piece of fabric simply won't adequately cover a 3-dimensional body.  Darts control the shape of the fabric and allows the fabric to conform to your body, they can also create style lines that enhance shape and comfort.
Darts aren't just for female apparels alone, they are also used in men's trousers and jackets.

You had no idea why those lines are always there right? Now you know.
We'll talk about how to sew in those darts another day, but from today you know one of the factors that makes that outfit fit so well.


Welcome back to "FASHION TABLE"
I'm so enthusiastic about this new section and I hope you are too.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
