Darts give shaping, typically when sewing a skirt/pants they are located on the back of the skirt near the top. In a shirt/dress darts can be between the waist and the bust length wise or on the outside of the bust (between the bust and side)

How do you dart in sewing?

Fold a piece of fabric in half. On the fold, make a mark about 4 inches down, or however far you want your dart to be. Begin sewing from the top, about 1 inch away from the fold, and sew straight toward your mark (you will be sewing diagonally). Don't back-stitch at the tip of the dart, or the fabric may not lay properly. Usually, if you are following a pattern, this process is explained in the instructions. Darts are commonly used in blouses, skirts, and jackets.
