Pivoting a Torso Shoulder Dart to the Side Seam
In this lesson we will teach you how to move your torso sloper’s front shoulder dart to the side seam. Once you transfer this block to oaktag, it will become the foundation for many of your dress and blouse designs.
The sloper needed for this lesson can be found and drafted in our Pattern making lesson: Drafting a Shoulder Dart Bodice Sloper from Measurements, then converted to a fitted torso sloper in our lesson: Convert Bodice Sloper to Fitted Torso Sloper or draped in our lesson: Fitted Torso Sloper and then transferred into oaktag in our lesson: Transfer Torso Sloper to Oaktag.
