Regarding those tall necks, those look a lot better on the runway and in photos than they do in real life. There's a Vogue sewing pattern that has a tall neckline (very similar to the first one shown in this thread and shown again below). I made it but to wear it, looks rather awkward irl because you aren't just standing still or even walking with your head pointed straight forward all the time. Try to look down at your phone or the kitchen counter, or anything like that, and your chin disappears into the neck.
I do think this neckline would look better on a man or on a woman with a smaller chest, than it did on me however, because the fullness of the neck will get slimmer as it goes down, rather than have to bulge out over a larger chest. The proportions are better overall I think. Not that that would help the disappearing chin problem - lol.
And trying to look good while eating with these necklines... forget it! You have to carefully navigate your fork over the several inches of garment neckline that is sticking out and hope that you don't accidentally bump it and have food spill down into it. It results in rather unnatural eating movements, and again, turns something from really cool into really awkward.
