It fits me perfectly in its shrunken condition, except the neckline was loose and slightly skewed from the heat. Look at this poor neckline in the front AND back. So unattractive.
I find that adding darts will pull the neckline in. Technically I should remove the neckline, add darts, and sew the neckline back up. But I can't sew necklines to save my life, so to avoid ruining the entire dress, I opted for this lazy way.
I added two darts in the front and two in the back.
After adding the darts, the neckline instantly hugs the neck. Bam.

wow you are so craetive to make something out of something like this is such a talent! I dont know if i make sense but good work
Such a clever fix! It’s amazing how a simple set of darts can completely transform a neckline and bring a shrunken dress back to life. Your “lazy way” is actually a smart, practical approach—no need to remove the entire neckline when a subtle adjustment does the job beautifully. The before-and-after difference is impressive!
In my work with an HT Panel Manufacturer, we also rely on precise adjustments to improve fit, alignment, and overall performance—your sewing hack follows the same principle. Love seeing creative problem-solving like this!
