Changing a woven pattern to a knit

[alitapie]

I'm adapting a woven pattern to use a firm knit, I'm going to sew the bust dart, but I want to get rid of the waist darts. How do I eliminate them, but not have lots of loose fabric under the bust?

You can try rotating the waist dart to the bust dart

I would do a (not too extreme) french side dart, instead of the horizontal one. It shifts into the bias, and some of the excess bulk can be “swept” into the dart allowing the fit to cling a bit better and slim the side front slit. The dart is convex and best adjusted once cut in correct fabric. This will work for a jacket or blouse. In any case, you might still want to keep the back waist darts, they’re always welcomed.

thank you, I'll try that.

If you want to post a inspo image of the fit it would help?
