I've had this jacket for two winters at least. But I had always meant to fiddle with it to better suit me. I forgot to take before pics, oops. So what have I done?
-add a second buttonhole- it only had one just below bust level and was crying out for a waist button
-change the buttons out- they were big flat dark green things that I never liked
-drop the back belt to further shift the impression away from the original high waistedness
-open the centre back seam and refinish to stop it binding
It was a useful jacket before but now I actively like it. It's still too big in the waist really but it looks fine. (and no, I haven't resized the dummy yet)
