Pressing Darts

You should press the dart from the widest end to the point. Don't press paste the point. There are two directions darts should be pressed. When it is a horizontal dart, the dart is pressed downward. If the dart is a vertical dart, the dart should be pressed toward the center of the garment. Basically, pressing them in those ways is most flattering and appealing. Here is a diagram for those who are more visual (like myself).

The dotted lines are the folded part (the bulk) of the dart underneath the garment. And the little arrows tell you which way to press.
