Should the bib go all the way past where the cummerbund would go, or is it alright to have a bit that's not covered by the bib showing above the cummerbund?

bump.
I have a tuxedo shirt with a pique bib and it ends about 4" above the trousers. I do not intend to wear a cummerbund. Is this acceptable?
Related: The shirt has fittings for 5 studs but all stud sets I've found only include 4 studs. Is it acceptable that the lowest opening be a button and not matching stud?

eh, I guess this photo answers the question:
Not acceptable.
So follow-up question: my tuxedo has a grosgrain lapels and I have a grosgrain bowtie. Should the cummerbund be grosgrain as well?
