A closeup of the front

Witness the lousy trim placement. The shoulder wings have already been ripped off.

Before

The wool embroidery makes the fabric so thick that it puffs out below the pleating. Even with the lacing panel underneath it still looks unflattering.

Fitting the new back

New back complete

It fits much better through the waist

Even without the bumroll

Still no bumroll but a vast improvement

The only picture I have of me actually wearing it.

I still look a little like a stuffed sausage but once I adjust the waist a tiny bit it should look fine. Thanks to Josh for the pic!
