In this session, I demonstrated how to create a more fitted shirt front by adding a bust dart. I reattached the front piece, smoothed out the excess fabric around the bust area, and folded it into a dart at the bust line.

Lesson Steps:

• Reattach the front piece and level the waistline with the hip line
• Smooth out excess fabric around the shoulder and armhole
• Mark the new lines with a blue pencil
• Identify the bust line and fold the excess fabric into a bust dart
• Mark the end points of the dart to note its length and width
• Option 1: Add a bust dart for a more fitted look
• Option 2: Gather the excess fabric around the shoulder for more room in the bust area
• Prepare to true the muslin pieces in the next session
