The neckline is often one of the main problems with new clothes. A neckline that is too deep looks provocative and is not suitable for every woman. An excessively narrow throat causes discomfort. In this case, modeling of the neckline is performed. This can be done in a studio or yourself. The operating principle depends on many features of the product. The material, model, cut, size matter. Before starting work, it is advisable to make a drawing of the future product and decide on the key points that you would like to correct. With incorrect calculations and drastic changes, the back, front, armhole or shoulder may be distorted. Therefore, it is important to act carefully, connecting all the dots so that they do not change the basic cut.

Modeling the neckline of a dress - how to widen the neckline

Before you start modeling the neck of the dress, you need to prepare materials and tools:

• Thread and needle;
• Disappearing sewing marker;
• Several pins;
• Pencil or chalk;
• Fabric that will be used to trim the throat;
• Tracing paper.

To widen the cut and not damage the style, we will use an original idea - we will make a cut in the center of the front of the dress. Its depth is usually ten to twenty centimeters. Algorithm of actions:

1. The front is folded in half, using the center line of the front of the dress as the basis.
2. A sheet of tracing paper is placed on the fold. It should be slightly higher than the neckline.
3. On tracing paper, draw a line for the throat, the center of the front part, taking into account the facing. The part is cut out.
4. The layout is transferred to the material. An overlocker is used to process the cuts. If you don't have an overlocker, use a zigzag stitch. To strengthen the facing made of thin fabric, it is recommended to add interlining.
5. The facing is applied to the outside of the shelf face down. In this case, the centers of the elements must be aligned.
6. A marker is used to mark the contours, then they are stitched on a typewriter.
7. Using scissors, the product is cut along the midline, strictly in the center.
8. The facing is turned inside out and ironed.
9. If necessary, the cut is made along the edge.

How to sew the neck of a dress - modeling the shape of the neckline

Modeling the neck can be done in fairly simple ways. Sometimes the neckline needs to be reduced rather than sutured. Various methods are used for this. The easiest option is to hem lace, chiffon or other material down. But not all products can be fixed in this way. Sometimes fabrics do not harmonize with each other, and you have to look for alternative solutions.

Modeling is possible without sewing in other material:

• The detail of the shelf, bodice, is raised from the front side of the dress. In this case, the shoulder line is taken into account. First, the seams on the shoulders near the neckline are picked up.The required amount of fabric is removed, excess material is cut off, and the product is re-sewn.
• You can shorten the neckline using folds, if the fabric allows. Place darts along the length of the cut using hand stitches. This is how the depth is reduced manually. The sewing machine is not used.
• Parallel slits are made along the throat. Using a crochet hook, they are intertwined and secured with stitches.
• You can make vertical cuts and weave them together in the same way. This technique helps combat stretched necks on dresses made of stretch material or knitwear.

There are a number of models on which it is quite difficult to fix the throat; you have to reshape the entire product. In this case, it is better to use a substrate. Sometimes a ribbon is passed through the neckline, covering the neckline with a large bow.
