ALthough you had problems with the TikTok tip the shire came out lovely, it has a very special neckline and you can always say it was your intended design :-) And with the bias tape… are both materials you used stretchy? Because using woven fabric as bias tape will not work on a stretch fabric. But you perhaps know this already (and I simply overlooked it in your post). I am by far not skilled in sewing, but I like to use stretch fabric as it is much more forgiving in the fit. And I mostly use a different technique for the neckline. I cut a strip of stretchy fabric for the neckline which is smaller than the neckline. If its very stretchy I multiply the length of the neckline by 0,7, if its less stretchy by 0,8 to determine the length of the neckband. I fold the neckband. Lengthwise in half and sew it on stretched.
Here is a video where several techniques are explained… not sure if it helps. Maybe I misunderstood and you wanted to create a different kind of neckline :-)
