  Step 1

  Here is the bodice and there's a huge bust dart that needs to the marked and stitched for shaping.
  This pattern is the bodice lining.

  Step 2

  Here's the dart marked in faint blue and pinned, ready to sew.

  Step 3

  When I have darts on a pattern, I'll check the right and wrong side to see that the dart lines up and is straight.

  Step 4

  From here, sewing the dart is simple.
  I begin stitching from the widest part of the dart and finish at the point.
  The loose thread at the point is knotted and then cut off.

  Step 5

  Once the seam is sewn, ironing is the next step to seal the dart.
  As you can see below, it all worked out well in the end.
