Hello Laura, Indeed if the fabric is too thick the neckline will be straight and it will be neither pretty nor comfortable. I’m glad your tailoring skills were able to solve this problem. Hope you send me a picture of the finished dress! 😉
Thanks for sharing your feedback!

I’m a bit of a sewing hack so I appreciate the casual instructions! It’s getting hot here in Vancouver, Canada, so I’ve been wanting to sew myself a new dress! I made the dress using a bit of a stiffer cotton and found it to be a little strange at the neckline – cutting into my chin! So I put on my fashion designer hat and have been going wild! I added darts at the side of the chest, swept the skirt across from the left at the waist and pinned it just under the right breast, and cut an off centre collar that hangs down in front (to solve the awkward neck problem). A few more embellishments and I’ll be ready to wear it out! Thank you again!

Hello Kaitlin, As the neckline is straight the fabric will always pucker a little. It works great with thin fabric. Cotton is thicker and stiffer, so maybe you can cut the neckline with a slightly rounded shape so that the fabric does not crease when you wear the dress.

Hello Stephanie, mark the center of your fabric and report 9 1/4 (which is half your 18 1/2 shoulder measurement) on each side of the center mark. And done, you have your shoulder measurement reported on your fabric. I hope it makes sense and helps you to make your dress.

My name is Stephanie from the US (east coast).
I am currently having some trouble with understanding the measurement of the shoulder length. How do I center my shoulder measurements onto the fabric? So from shoulder to shoulder going across my measurement is 18 1/2. How do I center that onto the fabric?
