Pinning the dress where it crisscrosses near your waist will hold the neckline in place without causing it to pull. Use safety pins to fix a gaping neckline.
Double-sided tape for clothing can be found at a big box store or online. The tape will attach right at the neckline’s hem in a V-shape. This is a great option if your neckline is too low.
If your neckline is way too low, move the snap button up about 1 in (2. 5 cm) from the bottom of the V-shape. Snap the button into place and enjoy your dress’s new neckline. Snap buttons can be found at a local craft or big box store. Use a snap button to fix a neckline that’s too low or gaping.
Look for hook-and-eye clasps at a craft or big box store, along with a needle and thread to attach them to the dress. Hook-and-eye clasps will fix gaping necklines as well as necklines that are too low.
Choose a cami or slip that’s the same color as your dress so it blends in seamlessly. Slips or camisoles with V-necks are best since your wrap dress has a V-shape too.
For example, you might wear a black lace bralette under a black, blue, and white floral wrap dress.
Choose wide ribbon or lace for more coverage. If you have a sewing machine, you can use this to attach the ribbon or lace instead.
Try your dress on to see how much fabric you should take in at each shoulder seam before pinning it, if you’d like.
Use thread that matches the color of your wrap dress neckline so it blends in well.
Use a straight stitch or zig-zag stitch to hold the folded neckline hem in place. Some types of stay tape need steam for them to adhere to the fabric while others already have a fabric glue on them.
Put your wrap dress on and create two darts on either side of your chest by pulling the fabric into an overlapping triangle with your fingers to see how big the darts need to be. Sew the wrap dress bodice back onto the dress once you’re finished making the darts.
