Better pictures later: I took this at midnight-something this morning because I was bound and determined to wear it to the Stray Birds show tonight. Yes, I'm tired.
It's 95% awesome.
I need to finish a little topstitching in the front and I flubbed the buttons on the skirt fly. I need to add one right below the waist seam to prevent gaping. Those are easy fixes, though.
Other thoughts:
1) The upper back width is right on the line. It fits closely. It could maybe do with 1/2 inch or so added width, but it's not critical.
2) The sleeves were a [bleep]show to fit and need a little adjustment. Sleeves and I are not friends.
3) The upper chest is baggy and I need to figure out how to fix that without messing up the shoulders. I think the princess seams will make this easier but I will need to muslin it to make sure.
4) Mom thinks the waist is a bit long. I must have overdone it when I altered it the first time.
Mostly, though, it's awesome and I think I will end up making a billion variants.
