My Attempt at 70% of No. 1 Dress

[PiperOfThePlains]

Here's all I have so far of No. Dress:
The front.
The back
Here are my thoughts:

• Doublet is too long & large in the chest
• Kilt is poorly done in the pressing of the pleats
• Crossbelt is incredibly too long
• Hose are too long(?)

And my reasons as to why:

• The doublet was my instructors back in the 70's, and it was given to him by a band member
• Yes, I'm still having pleat issues... I wish I could have Higgins alter it.
• L&M Highland "altered" it for me, but I've been considering buying a and moving the mounts
• J. Higgins' small hose were too short and their medium are too long.

Thoughts?
