 I am 5 feet tall, should I shorten the darts length to make them more porportional. If yes, how much shorter they should be? Thanks in advance.

Re: Darts for Petite Figures

 Dear sewsewmom,

When drawing you patterns, you will use all of your lengthwise measurements from your body, such as bodice length, bust length, upper and lower hip lengths etc. Therefore, when you draw the darts, you are drawing them according to your own body measurements. So you dont have to worry about adjusting them for your height, as they are already the right length.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
