Monumental tailoring done!

Most sane people would not recommend doing this:

I have a bespoke Italian suit with Holland & Sherry cloth with a Sable and Cashmere blend that is so beautiful and luxurious with first rate draping. It was made when I was bigger but then I grew bigger still and couldn't wear it. I could never part with it. Then I lost weight and am now a size 44R. The suit coat was a 50R. I had it re-tailored at no small expense as this was a $4000 suit when it was made. The shoulders were narrowed and the rest of the garmet altered to fit. Pants were easy, Jacket was not. However after nearly 4 months I have it back and it is perfect. I am so excited to be able to wear this again. I will post better photos sometime soon.
