This may have already been covered here, but I can't seem to find it. I need to do a fisheye dart in the back waist area of a blouse. Does anyone have any idea or a link to some type of instructions to accomplish this? Thanks!

Here is the thread with illustration by Els for sway back adjustment.

I know the fisheye technique you are asking about but I can't find it either. I think it was in a tutorial on Debbie Cook's site.

The fish eye dart for pants is in the knowledge base under pant fit, I think ... not sure if there is one for bodices.

Like Miss Frizzle says "Take chances, make mistakes ..." isn't that what fitting is all about? I am happily taking chances and making mistakes as I fit muslin after muslin ...

Thanks for the link to the swayback adjustment. I was trying to get away with not using darts or cb seam, but I think that adding the darts may actually work, rather than a CB seam. I will still need to add a little bit to the back hip, just to get everything to lie smoothly.
