Dart

A dart is a fundamental shaping technique used in garment construction to contour fabric to the natural curves of the body. At Megaya Bali, darts play a crucial role in achieving a flattering, well-fitted silhouette—helping garments follow the lines of the bust, waist, hip, and other curved areas without adding bulk or compromising comfort. Darts are one of the most essential pattern and sewing elements for any style that requires structure, shaping, or precision in fit.

A dart works by folding and stitching a wedge-shaped section of fabric, allowing the textile to curve smoothly around three-dimensional body shapes. Darts can be found in various parts of a garment—such as bust darts, waist darts, shoulder darts, and back darts—each serving a specific purpose in controlling fullness and enhancing fit. The placement, length, and angle of a dart greatly influence how a garment sits on the body, and even small adjustments can transform the overall balance, shape, and comfort.

Megaya Bali follows the dart specifications provided in your tech pack and pattern files, ensuring accurate placement, clean stitching, and precise shaping. While we do not create original darts or pattern drafts from scratch, we expertly execute the darts designed within your pattern. During sampling, we can also help identify if any dart adjustments are needed for improved fit or garment alignment.
