There are countless ideas you can find using dart manipulation to create interesting garments. However, they generally assume that you have at least a B cup size. So, what are small and flat-chested women, who have little or no dart intake to work with, to do? And what about women with very asymmetric busts?

I developed this Master Class with just such women in mind. With a few essential concepts and skills, there is a whole world of interesting designs you can explore, whether you have a very small dart to work with, or no dart at all, or darting only on one side of your bodice.

The skills you develop with the information provided in this Master Class will enable you to use a tried ‘n’ true pattern as your starting point. Then, rather than going through the fitting process repeatedly, you’ll be able to create new designs using your base pattern. There are endless possibilities! I hope that this class opens the doors to wonderful design ideas and sparks your creativity.

Half of the proceeds of this class are donated to Boxes of Hope, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides free mastectomy care packages and mastectomy pillows to anyone in breast cancer treatments.
