Neckline Alteration (pic heavy)

I'm turning to you ladies for ideas/help.  I am wearing Mori Lee 2302.  The sample was a size too small so on the 'live' pic, the material should come up about another 1/4in.  It's still only about 2-3 inches to work with above the beading in the center.

     

I'm hoping to make the straight neckline into a small sweetheart (i dont need the deep 'clamshell' kind of look. i know that would be very tough.)  i'm going for something like these:

  

I know you guys are going to say "ask your seamstress".  I did ask before I bought the dress, and she said it would be tough because of the vertical pleats and that I wouldn't get a FULL sweetheart.  But I think she was envisioning the deep cut that well... i dont need.

Bottom line:  have you ladies done this to any of your dresses, or know someone who did?  I can't find someone with MY dress anywhere (which i guess is a good thing), but any news about similar styles would be helpful!

Before and after pics are a plus too =) 
Thanks ladies!
