I have watched so many videos on this topic, and your tutorial is by far the BEST! You explained and demonstrated everything so thoroughly. I immediately used your method to fix a gaping front armhole and it turned out beautifully! I consider this a breakthrough in my garment fitting journey.
Thank you so much! I've been sewing for a while now, I don't have the opportunity to take classes due to health issues, and I couldn't figure out how to fix the constant issue is have with gaping around the armhole. Now I can! 😄
So pleased I could help. I hope you feel better soon. Aneka x
I am so grateful for this video, Aneka, because I have had this problem on a tank top pattern I made recently. I knew the gaping in the armholes had something to do with the bust but wasn't sure how to go about fixing it. You made it so clear that now I feel encouraged about making adjustments to the pattern & trying the tank top again. I will also look back at the other videos you suggested for more education. Thanks for sharing your knowledge because, obviously, it helps those of us that are stuck.
Thanks so much. Really pleased I could help. Feel free to get in touch if you have any problems whilst making the adjustments. Aneka :-))
This is really helpful, I wish Id had access to something like this 2 years ago. I'd made a toile of the Rue dress from Colette and I had these MASSIVE gaping armholes (I'd cut the right size and cup size) and I was trying to work out how to fix it. I made about 3 versions just basically intuitively creating darts and eliminating them from the pattern (eliminated dart wasnt transfered anywhere) and it was better but then obviously the neckline was gapping, was a game of cat and mouse! So I contacted Colette and they tried to help me, in the end I gave up. It really put me off sewing for a couple of months, I completely lost my confidence because I knew to be successful at sewing I would have to alter patterns and didnt feel I could do that! Then a couple of weeks later Colette issued a public apology and held their hands up to say the pattern had been poorly drafted. I was so pleased that it wasnt just me! But that experience stayed with me. So hopefully new sewists coming across this now will be saved the angst and disappointment I went through. Great work, Aneka!
I am so pleased that you liked it and so sorry for the disaster you had with the Colette pattern. It is awful when these patterns affect your self confidence, both sewing and body shape related. I see both with my customers. Pleased that you have your sewing mojo back now! :-)) x
I'm in the same position now with a different pattern which is labelled for a beginner. Stupid me pinched out the excess, drew the whole dart on the muslin and transferred this to pattern 🙄. Sadly my armhole is completely a different shape now. I think the issue is I didn't measure the distance instead as u suggested. Will try that shortly wish me luck. If that doesn't work gonna throw in the towel
I feel for both of you as I've experienced similar challenges with pattern fitting recently. I started sewing in the '80s and have seen some sad changes in these years. patterns sold in the big box stores today are missing more than half the content and detail that older patterns regularly came with. Missing are the once detailed instructions illustrations, colorings and pattern marks that were on patterns purchased decades ago. given the fact that there are no public school sewing classes available for young people to learn just some basics and have an experienced teacher on hand, this the pattern companies need to be even more mindful and include more information but rather they've cut just about everything including that ever so helpful seam lines from the pattern pieces. It's good that the producers of these videos are here to win some guidance as heaven knows we won't get it in school or from the big name pattern companies.
Very good tutorial! I‘m just getting back into sewing after a longish break and I can really use this refresher course 👍
Really pleased I could help. Good luck on your sewing journey! Aneka x
I watch a lot of youtube videos on sewing, but in the end I always come back to your videos. I learn soo much, so thank you thank you thank youu
Thank you.
Thank you SO much for this tutorial, Aneka. I've quite often had issues with gaping necklines in commercial patterns. Whilst I've been able to correct the issue with some success, your thorough and clear tutorial will be so useful in helping eliminate the problem. I appreciate that you've included so much information and varied types of patterns. Excellent tutorial!!
Thanks so much Laura, so kind of you and really pleased that you liked it. Aneka x
What did you do to fix the garments you had already sewed?i just a dress that has a gaping crew neckline and i need advice
You've just solved my problem Aneka! Thank you so much. Just getting used to making full bust adjustments - my plan for this year!
Glad it helped! Great news.
Unbelievable Aneka! Your explanations are so crystal clear that it almost seems as though I’ve always known it! Thank you so very much for all you do! PMarie in Chicago..
Thanks so much Phyllis. Aneka x
That was fantastic Aneka 😁. So well explained and easy to follow. I'll be giving that a go, as I do find that I get these problems, as I'm quite a small frame but have a full bust. Thanks so much for this great tutorial 👌😊😘
So pleased I could help Sally. Thank you. Aneka x
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve just found you on CZcams and I will be working my way through the rest of them! You explain things so well I was able to go straight to my pattern and make the adjustments-that’s so empowering. Hope Darwin is treating you well and thanks again xxx
Thank you so much Sharon. Glad I could help. Aneka xx
Brilliant! You make it so easy to understand. Thanks Anika.
Thank you Kathy. Really pleased you liked it. Aneka x
That is great, thank you. I have been sewing for years and when I was younger I was quite slim with a small bust. Now that I am older and have put on a little weight it didn't occur to me that I now had a full bust!!! I need to rethink some things!
Glad I could help. Aneka x
This tutorial was brilliant exactly what I was looking for and so simple to to understand. Thank you so much.
Thank you Valerie. Glad I could help. Aneka x

So kind, thank you very much. Aneka x
This is just what I needed. Most of the patterns that are not drafted for a "C" cup have this issue for me. Wish all top/dress/jacket patterns had extra pattern pieces as an option for larger busts. LOL - doubt that is going to happen... Thanks Aneka!
Great news, so pleased I could help Loriann. Aneka x
This is so well explained! I'm really bad with measurement because I get confused by numbers. But I feel like I would really be able to do this fix with those instructions 😊
You're so welcome!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm working on a men's waistcoat with this issue and couldn't find a solution anywhere until now.
Glad I could help.
Hi Aneka, I am just drafting my first garment, a dartless, v-neck top with dropped shoulder. With a slightly gaping neckline. Just a matter of 1/4" on both sides. I thought I could just pinch away the gaping at the shoulder, but of course it didn't work. I would never have guessed in a million years that I needed to make darts in the neckline to start the process of altering the pattern. Your tutorial explained exactly what to do, and why, and I'm amazed by how clear the explanation was. It's like magic, and it's fascinating! When I've got a problem, I know I can come to your channel, and there will be help there for me. [Hello, how to sew a v-neck with facing *properly*, and so much more! ] Thank-you so much!
Such a pleasure. Yes, when you are drafting a deep neck pattern you will generally need to take a small dart from the neckline to get the neck to sit flat against the body. So what you did is perfect! Aneka x
@@MadetoSew Thanks Aneka! Sorry for misspelling your name!

Dart manipulation always confuses me, BUT your explanation has made it very clear now!!! Thankyou so much.
Thank you. I'm so pleased it is helpful.
I have seen lots and lots of dart manipulation videos, but your explanation has just opened up my eyes!!! Watching again, and it's just making so much sense! 🙏 Thankyou!
Great instruction!! Thank you!!
Thank you Diann.
Aneka, that is so, so helpful and brilliantly explained. Thank you. However, my problem is that I have gaping at the back neckline and the dress has a double ended dart ( with no seam at the waistline). I am not sure how to deal with this. Are you able to advise me?
Incredibly helpful.
Thank you.
This is excellent!
Thank you.

I hope it was helpful. Thank you.
Excellent as usual.

Thank you so much 🙏
I am new to sewing and pattern manipulation seems like magic to me.
So pleased that you have found the magic as a beginner, there will be no stopping you! 😊
Great tutorial
Thanks Wanda.
Excellent video
Thank you.
I think I got overly excited because when you did the second one and the answer ended up being making the dart already there fuller I SCREAMED " I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!" and was so proud of myself for figuring it out from your first example hehe (I'm working on my basic bodice sloper right now and it has one dart, I'm almost there 3 muslins in) anyway thank you so much for explaining this I love your channel and I love learning things sewing & patternmaking related and making them make sense!! you're a great teacher
YAY! This is so good, especially when you totally GET IT! The best feeling. So pleased I can help you on your sewing and pattern making journey xx
Made to Sew ☺️
Excellent tutorial. I will take my dress apart and adjust as you advised and maybe my cap sleeves will look better on my narrow shoulders. Thank you
Glad I could help.
Hi Anika, Thank you for the many, many lessons over the years. I know that this lesson is a couple of weeks old now, but today was the first chance I have had to watch.
I followed along on how to create the new darts, and close them up on the pattern; then comes the part where I always get stuck.
By 17:10 minutes you have completed the above mentioned steps. At this point the original side dart is then huge!
I understand that we need to add paper to fill in this pattern dart, and that it will need to be trued...
What happens to that side seam? This is where I always end up lost!
Would you please show us how to finish this original dart where all the other darts have been rotated into, and how to redraw that vital side seam, and the waist line? This is the same problem I have with full bust adjustments. Again, with so many thanks!
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I am so pleased I could help.
I believe I show how to 'true' the dart, folding it and blending into the side seam in this video: czcams.com/video/FkK5bZ63YAo/video.html
I start with a shoulder seam and then do have a side seam. Have you watched it? Does it answer your questions? If not, let me know.
Thank you, Aneka x
Brilliant!!!
Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you.
Thank.you Aneka I.love you.so much .. Please I need the tutorial for getting rid of the side dart or removing all the darts for making a blouse without darts.. You mentioned that ull do a tutorial on removing side darts in this video can you please put the link ..
Hello! Yes I will do a tutorial on this.
Hi aneka I'm loving all your tutorials. Also love the top you are wearing in your tutorial 're gaping armholes and necks. Is it self drafted.
Hi Linda, it is my Aria Pattern. Launching in the next month: www.madetosew.com/product/aria-top-dress/ You can sign up to be notified on when it launches on the website. Aneka x
Thanks Aneka ! It is so easy with you 😊
Huge thanks Jazzy! Aneka x
Thank you : )
Thanks.
I wanted to do the side dart but wierdly, it was too small ( because 'dart' from neck so long to apex) so just removed .4cm from bottom. All very logical - thanks. Hope I do it right. 😁
Glad I could help.
This is a super helpful tutorial, thank you so much!! I am fairly new to sewing and especially to fitting clothes to me and I've made so much progress by following your tutorials! Gaping neckline is especially an issue for me so this video was great. I have a small question: I tried rotating the neckline dart into a bust dart as you demonstrate, but j ended up with a vast dart as they're already quite large following an fba. So instead I rotated into the waist dart figuring it was the same. I've got started with the nice fabric (always a mistake!) And I'm now having issues with excess at the bust apex that I didn't have before - could I have accidentally shifted the bust apex by this method? Thank you!
Hi Hester, you shouldn’t have changed anything by moving it to the waist dart. As long as you used the same apex point then you can use dart manipulation to move it anywhere.
Usually the waist dart is backed away more than the bust dart? So the dart will sit further away from the apex. Could this be the issue.
Also for future reference you could have left it in your bust dart and just removed the bulk from the dart to make a cut away dart. This would have helped when sewing. I have a video in this: czcams.com/video/xgPanWBRlfs/video.html

Is this applicable to gaping on a low back dress also ? Thanks :) great video !! Helped me with arm hole gaping on my wedding dress draft
Fabulous tutorial A again - I need to lose a V shape at the centre neck- looks like I need to use this method x 2 ( one on each side). I’d wondered how to do this to keep the straight of grain correct - this seems the solution! Thank you.
Hi Suzanne, the grainline will shift for the upper part of the garment when you change pivot the darts out of the neckline. With a V-Neck the neckline is already on the bias, so just keep the grainline in the original location, probably parallel to the centre front? Thanks, Aneka
Made to Sew thank you. It’s a jewel neckline so keep original grainline I assume also? The V describes the shape of the excess material the needs removing from the centre
@@suzannejeffries2151 Yes, keep the original grainline, you may need to re-shape the neckline once you have removed the excess.
Mam you teach very well 👏🏼 👍 👌 😊 ☺
You are my wish 🤞 teacher thanks to God ❤
Hello Aneka. What about shortening the front armseye. It’s not going to be the same front and back for putting in the sleeve
Hi Margaret, you are correct if you shorten the front armseye you WILL need to adjust the sleeve pattern. Or at the very least measure the stitching line of the sleeve cap and the armhole (front and back separately, because they shouldn't be the same length, the back is usually longer than the front) to make sure that they can sew together. Consider how much ease you have in your sleeve (if any), compared to the armhole. Hope this helps, Aneka
I would really love you to do a tutorial about gaping armholes at the back of a garment. This is something that affects me a lot.
Yes of course I can. Can you send me some images of where you get the gaping? Then I will make sure I film the right thing :-)). Aneka (info@madetosew.com)
@@MadetoSew Did this happen?
@@jimkoss3318 I don't believe I ever received an email regarding where the issue was. So not it hasn't, as this point. Sorry!
All thanks to "madetosew" one of the best online instructor. So much happy to learn this. God bless you Aneka
Thanks isn't enough l am waiting this tutorial since last week ...l 've send you a message at Instagram ...remeber me
Now I can vix my neckline
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes I do! I am so pleased it could help. Basically you will need to remove an amount on your neckline to prevent the gaping. Make up a sample garment and see if you need to remove any more. I would start with say 3/4" - 5/8" (2cm-1.5cm) because it is a LOW neckline. Aneka x
You're an absolute lifesaver! I just tried on my toile and the gaps just above the bust towards the armholes are so massive, it looks like a freaking wind tunnel 😡
I have just one question though: The pattern is from a sort of mix and match pattern book and the bodice can be sleeveless or with sleeves.
Should I put in the sleeve before pinning the excess and amending the pattern?
I'm not quite sure, I'd I'll do the final dress with sleeves or not. Will it make much of a difference?
Pleased I could help. Personally, I would draft a different pattern for a sleeved or sleeveless bodice. A sleeveless garment should have less ease in the armhole and fit tighter, whereas with a sleeve you need more room. I would sew it how you plan to make it (sleeves or no sleeves) and then fit. 😊
I enjoy and learn from your videos, thanks a lot!
Are you aware of how amusing the relation is, between today's subject and the neckline of what you are wearing?
Yaneev T . I am amused....funny. Gaps part 2 -- How to stylishly create a gap into your garment.
Thank you! Ha Ha, I didn't even think about this! :-))
What a great series!! Ha Ha!
I Anika I am Marilyn I am inspired by you to started to sew to support my self but one problem I don't have a surger
On the green and white top, wouldn’t you just sew a smaller size for above the apex and do a FBA?
I guess you could do that, but it does depend on why it’s gaping. If you have all the measurements correct and have chosen the right size and cup size then the issue may be in the pattern draft.
I always remove some contouring when I lower the neckline of patterns. Not everyone does.
And it could also be your unique shape, if you were having issues with this. Some people are very hollow in the chest area.
Or it could be any issue with the neck width.
This example is more of a ‘this is how you could fix the issue’. It’s a quick fix that will work. A more detailed look that I would take might be neck width of front verses back of pattern; they should be different.
And of course for this example, I made the garment not fit the mannequin just to show it.
Hope that helps!
I do miss your channel I hope you come back again

Your top is very nice can you show how to draft this neck pattern
Yes, I will launch a pattern for it soon. madetosew.com/product/aria-top-dress/ As well as 'how to' draft. Aneka :-))
How can fix gapping on neck round collar
Hi Aneka, it's been a while since I spoke to you last. I have just altered a gaping neckline front and back, by slashing and re-adjusting, however this has now made my shoulder out of line. I am not sure if I have done the adjustment correctly, but would like to know how do I go about correcting the shoulder to sit properly (like straight up and not sloping). Many thanks Val.
Hi Valerie, I hope you are well? What do you mean by the shoulder being out of line? It might be best if you send me some images (info@madetosew.com), so that I can see what you have done. Just so you know I am out of the office until Thursday. Do you mean that the shoulder slope doesn't work on your figure? Aneka x
Thank you Aneka I'll try and send you a picture tomorrow and hopefully more explanation. X
@@valeriepoole1535 Thanks Valerie. x
This is really excellent. Thank you because my book didn't explain clearly at all on how to fix gaping armholes or neck lines (on my learning how to self draft project). On my other project, I've made a dress, yes I should have done a test fit first :'(. On this Dress I had done a FBA on princess seams(following your tutorial I think). I don't know if I did something wrong but it seems that the gaping is just happening on one side on the centre front. The FBA was a little too big for me because I hadn't realised that McCall's give a lot of ease so I took that all in.
My question is how do I fix something that's on one side but supposed to be symmetrical? I don't want to interfere with the good side. I will start again from scratch with all this in mind and do it on muslin first -- Lesson learned lol
Thanks again. Your videos are definitely the most helpful I have found
Hi Louisa,
Do you think your body is a different shape/size on the side that has gaping? Of course nobody is symmetrical it is just a case of trying to work out if something is wrong in the adjustment or if it is your shape.
If you have an adjustment you make on a princess seam, rather than sending the dart that is gaping to the dart, you can send it through the pattern piece. To remove it completely. So you would draw a dart across the pattern piece, ending at the stitching line. Cut and remove. You could do this to just one side, as long as the garment ended up looking symmetrical on the body.
Does this help?
Aneka
@@MadetoSew yes. I’ll try this. Thank you 🙏🏻
Is it too late to fix the neck gape if ive already sewed the garment?or is there a way to save the garment?its a crew neck
Unfortunately not, if you have already sewn the garment it is too late. You could put a dart in, or some detailing to hide it? Otherwise you could try and remove your facing or neck finishing, gather the neckline slightly and reattached the facing. This could work if it was a minor adjustment; absorb into gathers you can't see. Aneka
what do you suggest for gaping on the back side of the sleeve? how do you get rid of that? I LOVE your tutorials thank you
Thanks you Julie Ann. It depends where it is coming from? If you can't take an adjustment at the shoulder or underarm to fix it then you make need to take a dart and I would move the dart from the back armhole into the shoulder? Let me know how you get on. Aneka
@@MadetoSew it's gaping in the back of arm. I tried moving it to the waist dart but its huge now and I don't like that. I'll try a shoulder dart. Thank you
@@julieannsmithmusic Yes, you can't really move the darts to the waist in the back of the body. You have to think where the curves are in the back and this is the shoulder blade, so a shoulder dart should work. 😃
Hi How beautiful you are... Your stitching class so beautiful... you give me ideas so beautiful
Very kind, thank you. Aneka
May I ask..my dress only have waist dart which is 1 inch away from the bust apex.. and when fitting, I have some gapping on the armhole..which way should I centered the excess? Is it the bust apex or the dart point?
I would extend the waist dart to meet the dart point. Remopve the gaping in the amrhole to the dart point (which is now connected to the waist dart), and then before finishing back the dart away from the bust apex by 1" again. This will mean that you don't remove any volume from the bust area itself. Is that clear?
@@MadetoSew thank you.. that's very clear..
@@shafiahaqilah Glad I could help.
Great tutorial! Love the neckline of your dress, did you use a pattern? xxooxx
Thank you. Here is the pattern it will launch soon. www.madetosew.com/product/aria-top-dress/ Aneka xx
This is very helpful tutorial. Especially the round necklines which seems to come too large, too deep, in patterns and ready made garments. Thank you. Brilliant! Never would have thought to place darts there! Thank you very much!
However, I have a question; (I understand the dart insert when it comes to bust area) but....while adjusting bust, what do you do with under the arm seams which will twist forward.
Do I cut out the under arm excess fabric? Place a dart but...where? Thank you
Hi Dee, what do you mean by the underarm seams twist forward? Do you mean that the side seam isn't running straight down the side of the body? Does it move forwards the front. It should be at a right angle to the floor.
If the side seam is doing this, you might need a Full Bust Adjustment, have you looked into that (czcams.com/video/UoiMxhN_H8Y/video.html) to make the side seams hang straight?
Let me know. Thanks, Aneka x
@@MadetoSew Thank you so very much for your response and another great the video on FBA.
What I mean, and have trouble with, is that after adjusting the "torso" part of already made garment , the seams along sleeves themselves, end up facing/twisting forward.
I'm not sure what to do with the fabric that falls in area of armpits.
I tried to take sleeve seams apart; from elbow area to the armpit, re-sew to fit into now fitted torso (after adjusting that with darts) but there is excess fabric on the sleeves that won't fit and sleeve seams twist forward.
I hope you can "visualize" my explanation?
@@incanada83 I think I understand what you are saying. Once you have removed a dart from the armhole, the armhole is now smaller than the stitching line for the sleeve? So you need to remove an amount from the sleeve to make them fit?
Do you mean this? Otherwise do you have any pictures you can email me? info@madetosew.com.
To add sometimes you need to move the hole sleeve in the armhole. The notch on the top of the sleeve that matches the shoulder on the garment isn't in the right place for everyone. It depends on how your shoulders and arms hang on your individual body. If you are getting pull lines on the sleeve cap you can undo the top of the sleeve and twist it in the armhole. The notch for the sleeve at the top of the sleeve cap, might need to go forwards or backwards of the shoulder seam (this is totally fine to do, if that works for you). Just re-position the notch on the sleeve after fitting to match the shoulder seam of the garment.
@@MadetoSew Thank you so ever very, very much! You've explained all beautifully!
(I don't have pictures. I was so frustrated that I just cut up the outfits to smaller pieces and used those for other projects).
By the way, the sleeves I mentioned earlier, were on already made garment. So no notches but! Thank to your explanation, I can "re-notch" or mark the top of the sleeves and go from there.
I was also looking (by chance and have never heard of) at something called a "gusset". I think combining those two techniques, I might actually make something wearable LOL
Thanks again for your time, videos and for writing back :-)
@@incanada83 Wonderful. Yes a gusset is a triangle piece pattern that sits under the arm of the garment. You often see them in close fitting sports leggings under the crotch. They will help with movement. 😀
I get gapping in the back collar. How do I fix that? Do I dart the back?
In a collar or in the back neckline? Do you have a rounding to your upper back?
Fabulous... this helps so much. Where can we buy your French curve, seam allowance/ grading etc ruler?

Thanks for the info Aneka. I live in Germany and will order it from your site. It should be no problem . 🤗
For the side of the princess seam, could you not take off the excess from the seam line itself?
Hi Michael, if you take the dart (amount you want to remove), through your seam allowances you would end up removing an amount from the actual stitching line of the garment. Which could then affect how this sewed to the corresponding piece. Does that make sense? We don't want to affect the seam at this point, we are trying to take the dart to 'nothing' at the seam. Sorry, it probably wasn't as clear because I only took a small amount. Any further questions let me know. Aneka
Made to Sew this totally makes sense thank you so much for clarifying :) you’re videos are amazing
That was exactly the instruction I needed to improve my blouse pattern. Thank you so much. I’m off to the cutting table.

Thank u. Now I can fix my dress
Same - a friend made me a dress some time ago, but for whatever reason, she completely ignored my measurements in the bust area, so it was massive (I'm talking 'fit another person in there' sized OTL). It meant I've had an otherwise lovely dress I can't wear. Now that I know how to fix this, I can wear it. 😊

Please what does it mean to pin to nothing
Sorry for the confusion this means then you need to pin a dart. So grab some fabric at the start; like a dart and then pin to nothing e.g. the point of a dart when it disappears. Does that help? Sorry it wasn’t clear.
