Solution and Explanation

The amount of suppression taken between the dart legs is called the Dart Intake. It refers to the width or amount of fabric that is folded and stitched out between the two legs of the dart. This suppression helps in shaping the flat fabric to conform to the curves of the human body, such as the bust, waist, or hips.

Dart intake determines how much shaping the dart will provide.
The larger the intake, the more shaping or contouring the dart gives to the garment.
Proper dart intake ensures a good fit without causing puckering or excess fullness.
