Very cute dress!

I think this is beautiful! I love the back especially. Could you possibly tack the neckline down by hand? I think you could make it work!

CJgal, I did tack it by hand to see if that would help, but nope. I also considered putting a piece of boning in the facing to shape it my body. Any thoughts on that? Is boning even shapeable??

Very pretty dress, I like the cut out in the back and your fabric is lovely.

See if your library has "Sewing 911" by Barbara Deckert. It contains fixes for many sewing disasters, and if I recall correctly, she addresses using boning to make a very low-backed dress conform to the body....that might help the neckline problem....I hope you can make this gorgeous dress wearable to your satisfaction.

oh, gosh, I didn't mean to imply your dress is a disaster - far from it.

I think Hollywood Fashion Tape would be perfect for your neckline issue. It's a lovely dress.

Wow, thanks for the ideas, ladies!! I'm hopeful now that I can fix it! :)

Super cute and love your fabric choice

Wow! This is a beautiful dress! The gaping doesn't look bad at all.

I hope you can do some sort of fix, it would be such a shame to have this dress wasted.

Your dress is gorgeous and fits you so perfectly--the gaping front, as you said, is not noticeable in the pic. Not sure what you can do to fix it, but am very sure there is a fix. Hope you do, cuz it would be a shame not to get lots of wear from this beautiful dress.

Very pretty!

IT's very pretty! Have you considered adding a piece of lace horizontally to raise the neckline? It might be lovely in white and your fabric would make it look like a design feature.
