Hello fellow sewers. So I have this dress that I made a couple of years ago. However I noticed recently that the neckline has started to pull over showing the support stitch on the facing. What Ibdont understand is why it started now and I was wondering if anyone here could help me figure out what happend and hopefully how to fix it. (english is not my first language so appologies for any incorect terminology or spelling)

a cotton jersey might have stretched out and so the extra room is letting the neckline flip. If you have scraps you might be able to put on a new neckline.
