This particular neck is a very modest jewel neckline. You’ll need something a little larger if you want to be able to pull the garment over your head! However, once you’ve drafted it, you can use that as an excellent guideline to create a different neckline shape or size. I often drop it down a couple of inches, round it out and use my armscye tool as a guide for a curve and do a sweetheart neckline.
