The purpose of this study is to develop a computer program for automatic dart manipulation, as well as basic pattern making, of women`s front bodice. In addition to accuracy and efficiency in pattern making, this computer program provides variations of basic patterns through dart manipulation. AutoCAD, running on the Austin 486DX micro-computer is used for this research. The procedures of this study are as follows; 1. A pattern-making method for women`s front bodice is selected. 2. All co-ordinate points are located following the same way and order of drafting. 3. Drafting of a basic front bodice is programmed. 4. Functions for various single dart manipulations are defined. 5. Menu-driven user interface is developed.
