    Dress shirt darts will completely transform how a shirt looks on you, and they're actually WAY easier to make than people realize!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I'm using a Brother ST371HD sewing machine which I LOVE, but you can find a sewing machine on Facebook Marketplace or any other used online marketplace for seriously like $50 or less. You DON'T need an expensive $300 machine to do this at all! Ask your grandma for hers or borrow one from a relative if you have too. Seriously though, DIY tailoring is one of the CHEAPEST and LIFE CHANGING things you can do to your clothes!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Stitch type - Straight stitch
    Stitch length - 2.5
    Stitch width - NA
    Stitch tension - 3 to 5
    Universal needle 80/12
    Polyester thread (both of which can be bought at Walmart for $5)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    My measurements for my darts:
    5 pins total (starting from the bottom of my shirt going up)
    .5 inch ------------------- 12 mm
    .5 inch ------------------- 12 mm
    .25 inch ------------------- 6 mm
    .25 inch ------------------- 6 mm
    Top pin is JUST a place holder, so phase your stitch out by this pin
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Your darts (depending on the size of your shirt):
    .25 inch - 1 inch ------------------- 6 mm - 25 mm
    .25 inch - 1 inch ------------------- 6 mm - 25 mm
    .25 inch - .5 inches ------------------- 6 mm - 12 mm
    .25 inch - .5 inches ------------------- 6 mm - 12 mm
    Top pin is JUST a place holder, so phase your stitch out by this pin
    I recommend taking in the side seams FIRST (which we did to this same shirt here • Tailor YOUR OWN Dress ... ) before putting in darts, as that way you will get the fit right on the sides, and finish the job by fitting your shirt to your lower back. It's not MANDATORY at all, but its recommended. Also, when you're trying your shirt on with the darts temporarily pinned in the back of your shirt, it's gonna feel super uncomfortable. Its because for the first time in your life your shirt will touch your lower back, which feels wrong, at least it did for me. That means you have the RIGHT fit, so be mindful of that.
    After you put in your darts and you feel your shirt is too tight IT'S OK! They aren't permanent at all, you can use a seam ripper to take them out and start over, or leave them out and go watch The Queens Gambit instead. Such a good show...
    Also, some people like to tie their darts at the end instead of using a back-stitch. That's totally ok, you can do either one. I like the backstitch method because it's easier for me, but it takes practice to avoid getting a dimple. Even if you do get a dimple your shirt will look so much better on you that only YOU would notice it anyway...just saying.

    Great video format. I’m a petite female. Hardest part for me was marking where to put the darts and how deep to make them and how to taper them. It took me a lot of trial and error to figure out that part. I used pins and a fine-point disappearing ink pen made for marking fabric (available at craft stores like JoAnns or online). Also I missed it if you said to work on inside of shirt, but I knew to sew the darts on the inside of the fabric.

    Hey SD, I have never been open to tailoring my own clothes or just having it tailored overall...until I saw some of your videos. I have a very big interview on Tuesday, and I went in to get a suit tailored because I just didn't want to risk it. I haven't even gotten it back yet, but just getting the measurements and trying it on with the pins and the changes that it will make, made an incredible difference. I can't being to explain how excited I am for this interview, and how comfortable I already feel. Love the videos, thank you!!

    I have been jumping in to tailoring my clothes thanks to finding your videos. They're quick and to the point, which is great for my attention span. And my wife's sewing machine is finally getting the dust knocked off of it.
    My question is, would you ever do a tutorial for oversized shirts? Is there much of a difference? I have lost a lot of weight in the last year that I've gone from XL to Medium sized shirts and I want to try to size down a few of them to me. The issue that I have is the pinning, its hard to pinch and pin the sides with a big, oversized button up shirt. Or at least it is to me.
    I also tried following your clone Tshirt video, which works amazing for T Shirts, but I wanted to know if that would be able to work by taking a t shirt pattern and laying it out on a dress shirt.
    Love the videos, look forward to seeing what you got next!

    • @StylishDTailors
      @StylishDTailors  2 года назад +3

      Congrats on the weight loss! The problem with sizing down is if you try to go from an XL to a M for instance the shoulder seams won't match up at all, they will be too far down on your shirt. The collar will also be too big as well. My rule of thumb is to size down by no more than one size down.

    Thanks so much SD, I bought a sowing machine because of you and finally learned how to use it and make straight and zigzags stitching. I practice for about 2hrs on bed sheets like you recommended. The first 30-45mins was frustrating but i think I got the hang of it... I will practice different techniques and a lot more before I go to my clothing that i plan on wearing. Thanks so much for all your videos and showing me a skill I thought I would never in my life pick up!

    Hey SD, maybe too simple to make a video about, but just in case... I find properly using sewing pins is tricky in and of itself. Where to make them point, when to use safety pins, how long to them "under" the fabric before making them poke up again... Ah, it's probably just a matter of practising, but in case you run out of video topics it might be a nice short tutorial subject.

      You want to take in the side seams first before you add darts. And I’m a bigger fan of finding the measurements of a shirt as opposed to finding MY measurements. It’s easier to make it more about the shirt then me, if that makes sense.
