This means that you have to measure the pattern against your body and decide what size you will be able to fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This decision is a personal one, whether you like it on the shorter and tighter side, or with a bit of room to move around depends on your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is always easier to add to a pattern than to take away.&nbsp; Women who perform alterations can tell you that this is a job that is poorly appreciated but that entails a huge amount of detail, skill, and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Resources:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/how-to-sew-darts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Sew Darts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-so-sew-easy wp-block-embed-so-sew-easy\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"4JUBE0VbQ7\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/how-to-sew-darts\/\">How to Sew Darts &#8211;
