Side Bust Darts

[MarvelousParticipant]

How to remove the side bust dart and waist dart from a commercial dress pattern? I Want to make a dress without actually sewing the bust and waist darts on the fabric.

Sorry for the delay in response. I’ve been on vacation. You can try pinning the darts closed on the pattern and then cutting out your pattern. It might not lay perfectly flat though so I don’t know how easy this will be. Darts are used to give the bodice shape so if I were you, I’d make a muslin to make sure the bodice still lies against the body nicely.
