Simple Texture Editing Problem

[honestdiscussioner]

I saw a decent "revealing" armor set for female dragonscale, but it was a bit too revealing. I thought I'd try to mod the original set by just leaving some neckline first. I downloaded GIMP, installed the plugin, saved the original texture as a photoshop file, and deleted the neckline. I go in game and I can see my characters neck and collarbone area like I should have, but where the armor starts back again there is a solid white border that looks rather terrible. Look right around the neckline in the attached image.

So what am I doing wrong?

 

Edit: Could it have something to do with the fact I'm using the mesh from the other mod still?
