Shoulder dart transfer into a pocket seam (tailored jacket base)
It is possible to pivot the shoulder dart of the modified tailored jacket into a pocket seam and this technical file will demonstrate how. Starting from the front of the tailored jacket, shift the shoulder dart into a horizontal seam created below the waist, which will allow the creation of a pocket to hide the seam.
This technique is used to suppress the shoulder dart from its position without changing volume. However, the side front panel assembled with the front changes sense of direction and is no longer on grain (straight grain).
The file shows with precision and clarity through written text and explicit sketches how to carry out this operation successfully for a top-of-the-range result in the size of your choice. This base can be used to create a whole host of models.
Other technical files can be useful in furthering the development of this model as well as others:
The technical file of the tailored sleeve base pattern
The technical file of the puffed sleeve
The technical file of the tailored collar
The technical file of the shawl collar.
