As always, thoroughly enjoyed the podcast tonight. Leslie, I’m wondering if one thing to try for your bust darts is to not take all the fabric in one dart. I’m wondering if you can get a more nuanced adjustment by doing two or three smaller darts, possibly varying the length as well as the depth: like one longer one in the “middle” and a shorter one above and/or below that. I actually have no idea if this would work but am thinking about when I cover a round object with fabric or felt, I have to use several “darts” to make it work.
