Do you have appropriate dressform or you somehow magicaly fix the darts on yourself?

@sinituulia
Please, in the end share some selection of the tailoring books you found. I am currently very new in this historical stuff and I get lost very easily on questions like "how Edvardian drawers should be made - looks simple and adjustable, but where do I start". I currently know about Agnes Walker and Bertha Banner, but maybe there are others that everybody except me knows as a good ones for people of the 21st century.

@sinituulia @valhalla Hi! You seem to know stuff about handsewing, maybe you can give me advice, how seam for fabric in picture should be strengthened properly? It is a stright back seam of a store-brought linen chemise that I have already unpicked to redo. I wore it mostly under corset, and this pulled out part happened somwhere around my booty. I can afford to cut some half cm away, and I know how to do seamfinishing like in Bernadette's pirate shirt, but will it be enough?

I don't have serger, and my sewing machine does only stright lines, but I can do some neat handstitching and am willing to learn more, if needed.
