I ended up making the neck opening smaller. I also improvised a child size one for my daughter based on her chest measurements and gauge. Hers has an additional neckband since the wide neck didn’t work for her tiny frame.

Finished with the pattern and planning a few adjustments for fit. Will probably add a round of crochet slip stitch or SC around the neckline as it’s curling quite a bit. Had to seam up more at the neck to keep from slipping off my shoulders. Also have some adjustments needed to help my sleeves lay flatter instead of flipping in at the ends. Perhaps only blocking will be needed for that.
