I don't use the neck gussets in my shirts, but I did have the same problem in the beginning, and my fix was pretty simple. When attaching the band of the collar, I use only about the center 1/3 of the band to gather/pleat the back of the shirt into, whilw the rest goes to the front. This makes the neck opening naturally incline more to the front of the shirt (and person!) I also found it helpful to do a quicky muslin fitting when possible on the person meant for the shirt... Hope this helps a little!

The neck consistantly pulls to the back. That leaves us constantly pulling the shirt to the front to keep from choking. Our theory is that our gusset is either in the wrong place or not large enough or both. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have suggestions on how to correct it?
