Looks like your neckline is way too wide ***************** Not WAY too wide, but too wide IMHO. A fix for this they used to do in the early and mid 1800's was to run a ribbon thru the facing of the decollatage, having the ends emerge on the inside, usually in the back where the bodice opened. But it can be in the front. This can be pulled up so the neckline fits snuggly. It usually doesn't gather up but merely eases the neckline in and is not noticeable when that ease is distributed correctly. Don't use elastic for this. You want something that won't go anywhere. Use a 1/4" twill tape or something. Remember, the ends that you tie are on the inside of the bodice. **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
