#47 How to Correct Neckline Balance

Neckline fitting can be a challenge. If you are struggling to solve a gaping front neckline this method could be the answer. When you start drafting your own patterns or really study a patterns in depth, you begin to notice certain consistencies between all patterns. One of these consistencies is called neck balance. 

Neck balance is the relationship between the front and back neck width. In order for the front neckline to fit smoothly without gaping and eliminate excess fabric across the front chest, the back neck width needs to be larger (wider) than the front neck width.  If you want to understand more clearly what I mean, watch the video, I cover the theory and the practice to correcting this fitting issue.
