I have some scoop neck button down dresses and rompers that I don’t really like the neckline on. Anyone have a good resources for modifying necklines? Any recommendations that are especially easy to go to from a scoop neck? (V neck comes to mind?).

This sort of neckline

That’s sort of what I’m imagining too, maybe folding the hem under so I can get the width I want as long as that doesn’t make it too thick? I actually do think the sheer width of the current hem might be what I dislike now that you’ve drawn my attention to it

    So maybe a rehemming would be better I feel that will be less "destructive", and I usually go in order of least destructive to most since it's easier to take away than add on with clothing.
