1. On the cut-out bodice-back sloper with the cut-out darts, draw

the style line for the yoke. Make it at right angles to the center back.

Notch the style line (Fig. 80a).

2. Extend the shoulder dart to the style line (Fig. 80a).

3. Slash the style line.

4. Cut out the extended dart and close it. Note that the dart

control is shifted to the control seam at the armhole (Fig. 80b).

5. Correct the shoulder line and the seam lines as necessary.

Consider using the dart control of the lower bodice as dart tucks or

gathers.

6. Complete the pattern.
