Back fish-eye (waist) darts for shaping. Two ways. Tutorial.

Adding some shaping on the back of a garment with back fish eye darts can make you look better!

This has been requested in many comments so here we go!

These two methods can be applied to any pattern of garment you've already made and would like some shaping added. This is how I have done it for years and it works.
