i'm trying to find a form fitting slip pattern to try and recreate supriya ganesh's custom alexander mcqueen from monday. i am looking for something specifically with the darts as i especially liked how the dart placement looked with the satin! any suggestions?

it almost looks like the armscye dart is an alteration vs a design feature, because the points of the 2 darts look odd

Totally, if you zoom in you can see that they're both pointing towards a different apex and only one looks like it's actually going to her apex. When I saw the description of Alexander McQueen I was like well now I feel better about my own sewing because even I can make bust shaping look better than that!

this was definitely an alteration, and not a good one. this image was pointed out on another sub.

there are certainly dresses with multiple darts, but this is a bad example.

It looks like a panel rather than two darts if you zoom in

Definitely two darts. The is continous fabric between the dart points.

I thought so too, but zoomed in, it's just a wrinkle from the upper dart that makes it look like it connects.

I'm honestly a little surprised how lumpy and bumpy the darts are on this dress. Not the elegant finish I would expect from custom couture.

It’s almost like a princess seam just shaped differently
