how to broaden pattern through shoulders

19 years ago

I volunteered to help make blouses for a theatre production this weekend and one of the young ladies has very broad shoulders (or maybe its the neck area). The blouse fits well except the front placket, from bustline toward neckline, is too tight. I've purchased additional material in case I need to recut the front, but don't know how to alter the pattern. OR, should I simply "add" an elongated triangle piece to each front so I have enough overlap on the front placket for buttons/holes? These are 1940s style patterns and have quite a bit of fitting involved. Thanks for any help!
