Question 3

They were required to
ai. List four positions of dart in garments
aii. State one part of the body which each of the dart positions listed in 3(a) (i) above  
      gives shape to.                                                                
b. with the aid of two diagrams, describe how to make dart with one tapered end in a  
     bulky fabric.                              
c. list six parts of a garment where binding can be applied.
Many candidates could not use the correct word to answer the positions of dart in garments e.g. some candidates wrote back for back neck, breast for bust, stomach for waist etc. This made them to perform woefully in this question.  The candidates were able to describe how to make a dart with one tapered end in a bulky fabric but none of the candidate was able to draw the diagrams correctly.
