Converting bust/waist darts into princess seams Is there a way to do this?

I have a dress pattern with two bust darts and four waist darts (two in front, two in back). I was wondering if there's a way to convert these darts into princess seams, just for the bodice. Step-by-step instructions would be great- thanks!! :)

I have tips for doing something similar on the back bodice in both of the drafting/modification books I just bought, but they're at home. Maybe someone else is good enough at this stuff to offer a quick-and-dirty tip for the back? ------ Humor, DIY escapades, pop culture, kitsch and creative miscellany from a bipolar bureaucrat with a sewing machine, a bottle of prozac, and an occasionally loose grip on reality -- http://sewciopathic.com ... plus, stuff for sale(!) at sewciopathic.etsy.com.
