Taping up the darts on your pattern simplifies the pattern for you (and solves your problem with trying to deal with matching up the fabric design lines on your seams), but it will change the way the garment drapes on you when you wear it. Using this silkier, drapey-er fabric instead of cotton might help you on this issue. So I say: go for it. I love the fabric!
