I found this shirt and it's in the perfect colour (it's a warm orange/brown, of course it doesn't show on camera!), but the neckline is super unflattering and neck-shortening.
The rounder your upper body, the better you'll look with a v-neck. I have an easy fix for your round-neck tops, that doesn't only give you a nicer neckline, it also accentuates the booby-area nicely and can lift the waistline, depending on how deep you pull it. And depending on the item. It only takes a few minutes and everybody can do it, all you need is needle and thread.
By the way, I used white yarn so you can see what I'm doing. I suggest to use yarn in the same colour as your whatever-you-wanna-v-neckify. If you haven't got the exact one, always go for a darker colour, it shows the least.
Here we go:
find something round-necked (duh!)
find the midpoint of the neckline
if you need to, mark a straight line, appr. 12cm (5inch) from the midpoint you just found
make your first stitch on the inside of the neckband going up...
... inside the seam, not quite up to the edge
now poke the needle in about 5mm under the neckline from the inside out
and back down about 1cm.
voila! First proper stitch completed!
repeat on a straight line downwards.
end with a stitch inside the shirt
pull on the string
check if it's v-necky enough, if not, add some more stitches
now poke the needle upwards on the inside through all the folds you just created
tie a knot
slimmification process completed
nay
yay
