Why are the neck holes on the tops always big? They hang when washed also look sooo sloppy! I would like a simple round neck!

@Docsgal   I'm not there's a simple answer. Even w/ my broad shoulders, avoiding boat neck tops, I still sometimes find crew necks have a larger opening. 

 

I try to be careful when choosing fabrics that won't stretch or have a larger neck when purchased. I fold everythinng instead of hanging, too.

When that happens to me it's a sign that the tops are too large for me. I realize that the type of neck opening makes a difference, too, but usually when the neck opening hangs unappealingly on me then the top is too big.

@Docsgal

 

I had two D&Co tops that the ribbing around the neck didn't make it though one laundering!  No more D&Co knit tops for me!

 

So many other places to buy knit tops ....

@Docsgal ..I am finding that to be true.  I just dropped off 2 pull over tops to be altered.  Sometimes I think it is all the stretch in tops.  I have become very conscious of the neck when I buy.

@SilleeMee   I also agree with you...I have always purchased based on my bust measurement but once all the stretch was put into tops, I noticed the problem.

This is what the D&Co dip-dye shirt looked like after one trip through the washing machine and dryer.

@Desertdi 

Good one. Thanks for the laugh! 🤣

 

@Docsgal 

Have you tried the crew neck tees from Kohl's Croft & Barrow brand? The necklines stay true for me after multiple wearing & washings. 

@ALRATIBA 

😱 That doesn't look good.

That is NOT good!  I don't think that should happen.  It looks ridiculous.  I'd return it.
