Link mentioned in the video: https://goo.gl/7PBRkU To achieve a high level of modeling and a good fit for garments, it is important to understand the body's curves. The body has curves: anatomy of the shoulders, back, bust, waist and hips. The fabric is flat. When it is not a knit, it is flat, but it is malleable. You can give shapes to the fabric. If you are making a tight-fitting garment or a basic pattern that has to take into account the curves of the body, darts are essential. To model a good basic pattern, you need to respect these curves. Darts are folds, like pleats, sewn to a point, in a triangular shape, on the back of the garment, which shape the fabric to adapt it to the body's volumes. There are shoulder darts, bust darts, waist darts for blouses and skirts, among others.
