Hello Nahzat. Hmm, I happen to be a new member, thought I can make men's clothes, but i am still getting on to making a woman's clothes.

1  Right now I am trying to make a bodice for someone that would be in form of a tube. How do i go about   my    design without creating a side dart first?

2.  The waist measurement and the bust circumference seems the same that I can't get that V-shape from the bust to the waist. How do i go about it?

Re: Tube Bodice without Side Darts

Dear lightprince4u,

I believe you are making a tube top, without shoulders. If your fabric is knitted you can eliminate the side bust darts. But if the fabric is woven you need to have bust darts drafted on your pattern, then you can transfer the intake above the bust. Here is a video that explains how to do this. 

You will need to draft the pattern according to the measurements you have, if the person's waist circumference is smaller than their bust circumference you will be able to get the shape you are talking about.

Happy sewing, 

Nehzat
