1. A method of displaying a pattern piece, comprising:
receiving a position of a second dart that provides a desired 3D contour in combination with a first dart included in the pattern piece that forms a garment through a user interface (UI);
setting an intersection point between a first extension line extending from the first dart and a second extension line extending from a center point of the second dart as a pivot point;
generating the second dart in the pattern piece based on a width of the first dart that is changed by rotating at least a portion of the pattern piece around the pivot point; and
displaying the pattern piece including the generated second dart through a display device,
wherein the generating of the second dart comprises:
generating a plurality of duplicate pattern pieces that divide at least a portion of the pattern piece based on the pivot point;
changing a width of the first dart by rotating one of the duplicate pattern pieces around the pivot point;
determining a width of the second dart based on the changed width of the first dart; and
generating, in the pattern piece, the second dart to which the determined width of the second dart is applied, and
wherein the changing of the width of the first dart comprises:
when one of the duplicate pattern pieces is rotated around the pivot point, detecting a position of a mouse changed based on the rotated duplicate pattern piece, and
determining the width or a length of the second dart based on a rotation angle obtained by the changed position of the mouse.
