Modesty Panel or Neckline Filler

I've been in need of modesty panels for a few dresses I have made/bought that show just a little too much cleavage. 

This was a quick and easy sew.  I made a few of them this past Sunday after morning Church.  I made my Mother a few of them to try.

My versions had my kids laughing.  They thought I was making thong underwear!  Kids!

Since I didn't have a pattern, I just put a piece of scrap fabric on my dress form, trimmed it until I thought it would work.

 After trimming it up, I made a paper pattern copy.

 I used snaps to hook the top of the modesty panel around my bra straps.  Since I only have one bra style, this works perfect for me.

 The panel just tucks under the bottom of my bra.  I used a piece of ponte knit fabric I had left over from a past project. Perfect!

 I've worn this dress a few times but I really needed a modesty panel when I wear it to Church.

I'm thinking now I have a little project to make with any leftover fabrics I have.

Until next time..........................
