*is impressed* How do you manage making the dart? That's always been a mystery, why do we even need it? It makes our lady bits sound like a bulleye.

Love the touch of panda in the photo. :D

yes darts can be very tricky and it's been my mistake, more than once, to neglect including them in the final cutting. Anyway some tricks I've used is to either leave enough allowance in the bodice's cut-out and later pinch out the darts when I'm about to sew. Other times when it's convenient I do the reverse, fold the "darts" on the fabric, before I layout the pattern.

I used to think maybe I could go around using darts (coz they used to seem like extra work!!) but then I realized it's what makes the dress a perfect fit -still it doesn't make anything easier hahaha.

Yes Bapan is a darling!
