I bought this dress from H&M - doing my usual thing, of finding something I like and that **mostly** fit me...
The bit that didn't fit well was... The bust! It needed some darts in the side, to stop it gaping at the armhole.
As this dress had a lining, I would need to put darts in both the outer layer and the lining. I put two diamond-shaped darts on the inside, tacked them, tried it, then machined them.
It was a bit haphazardly done, but fortunately not too difficult to get them in the same position on either side.

And I'm very pleased with the finished product! It fits so much better with darts.
After a quick press, it was ready to wear!
