The next time you have a simple bodice, slash a curve through it (don't forget to add seam allowance) and maybe even a contrasting fabric. You will find this detail is used to enhance simple silhouettes, for example, when used by Proenza Schouler in their oh-so-popular 2003 collections. And if you're feeling adventurous, try doing this with piping for a really enticing and tailored look.

    Thank you for this post, it is very useful I only wish I found it earlier, before I had to redo may new pants’ waist 3 times. Oh, well, every lesson is worth something and I had to learn this one the hard way :)
