Maybe a paper pattern shape drawn with some seam allowed extra?
I had the same problem with a v-neck tee that I bought in England in April.
I made a same-colour piece of Idrija to fit the space, but an easier
solution if you are a little nervous about getting a good shape is to
measure the widest part of the 'v' and make a strip of lace a little bit
longer than the measurement. You can then tack it in to the space. If you
start on a slope and finish on a slope you will get a "v" shape, but make
sure it is long enough to lay flat and not pull the garment.
Depending on whether you want to remove the lace to wash the garment will
determine how well you stitch the piece into the garment. Mine is in
permanently and I have washed it in the machine. I do sometimes have to
dampen the lace and pull it out flat after the garment is dry (I hang things
to dry outside in the summer not drying in a machine)

made up for lost time overnight
