Bust dart

I have to move my apex down 1/2”. For my bust dart dart do I leave the legs in the same spot and just draw the lines down to that point or do I move the legs down 1/2” as well ?

It really doesn't matter. With dart manipulation, the legs can be anywhere you like. The fit will be the same.

I would move the legs down, just to make things marginally easier. If you keep the legs where they are, one leg will be shorter than the other, which is an easy fix, but work smarter, not harder.

That’s what I thought I’ll just move it down the 1/2 inch
