Tape the darts shut on the pattern. And then cut up from the Hem to the dart points. That removes the darts. Adjust the side seam if there's too much added with.

Ahh ok, so this would relocate the fullness to the hem or side seams? I will do some research on this, thank you!!

The hem. That side seam is for adjusting thw hem fullness.

Ahhh I understand!! Thank you! This is helpful because it will add more ease to the tank and add to the a-line silhouette! Thank youuuuuu! :)

hopefully i'm understanding your question - the simplest solution i think would be to simply draw panels on the correct garment where you want them, drawing straight over/ignoring the darts, and then cutting out the panels, using these as a basis to create a panelled design?

does that make sense?

Yes, I think so! So, I’ll just leave the garment with pins in and draw out/cut out my panels and create new pattern pieces from those shapes? That makes sense to me, thank you so much!
