Question

The ‘Measurement method’ used to convert a two-dart skirt into one dart, can also be used in:

• A. Blouses
• B. Kurta
• C. Trousers
• D. Shirts

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct answer is (1) Blouses.

The measurement method used to convert a two-dart skirt into one dart involves taking measurements and adjusting the fabric to change the dart placement. This technique can also be applied to blouses, where darts are used to shape the garment around the bust area. By adjusting the dart placement or reducing the number of darts, you can achieve a better fit or design for a blouse.

Let's consider the other options:

(2) Kurta: A kurta is typically a loose-fitting garment, and it doesn't usually require dart manipulation in the same way as a blouse does. Kurta designs tend to have a more relaxed fit.

(3) Trousers: Trousers may involve darts at the waist or hips, but they generally do not require the same kind of dart manipulation used in blouses, especially for reducing the number of darts.

(4) Shirts: Shirts are typically constructed using darts, but the method of converting a two-dart design into one dart is less common in shirts than it is in blouses, as shirts often have a more structured or tailored fit.

Thus, the correct answer is (1) Blouses, where dart manipulation techniques are frequently used to shape the garment to fit the body more precisely.

Answer 2

The measurement method for reducing the number of darts, as seen in two- dart skirts, is also applicable to blouses. This technique is commonly used in blouse construction to adjust dart placement, thereby achieving a more tailored fit while maintaining an appealing silhouette.
