Note
-
The default dart is perpendicular to the edge and has the following measurements:
Width: 3cm
Center Length: 10cm
Leg Length: 10.11cm.
-
A dart is created by folding one edge over the other.
-
The direction of the fold determines the direction of the directional seam and influences the cap shape of the full dart allowance.
-
The leg that folds over the other is thicker.
-
The leg length numeric component is outside the dart on the side of the thicker leg.
