Necklines - I haz the fail
So, I'm starting working on my new Pictish gown and I've come to the part I always seem to have problems with - the neck hole. Necklines I've made before usually end up almost to my shoulders (well, bra strap anyway - yeah, I'm working on period under-support).
So, what is the best way of making a nice, smallish neck hole? Does anyone have a "fool-proof" method? I may just go with making a smallish circle, more toward the front of the garment, and then making a slit (like a keyhole neckline) that I can fasten shut.
Oh, the material is a lightweight wool.
I'm cross-posting this to my sca-garb as well.
