Darts are folds sewn into fabric to help provide a three-dimensional shape to a garment. They are frequently used in women's clothing to provide a fit that closely follows the shape of the wearer.
Two kinds of darts are common in blouses for women:
- Vertical darts- These are sewn from the bottom of the blouse to a point generally around the bustline. This type of dart may be found in the front and/or the back of a blouse and are used by the garment maker to pull in the bottom of the blouse towards the wearer's waist.
- Bust Darts- These are short triangle folds that provide space for breasts such that the fabric under the breasts isn't hanging, rather is fitting closer to the wearer
