I posted this in the WAYWN thead earlier but was advised to create a new thread as that thread moves kinda quick. Basically I'm just finishing up college and starting interviews pretty soon and things are kinda tight financially for the time being so I figured I'de try and purchase a thrifted suit and have it altered. I've never owned a suit either btw, so am not 100% sure on a lot of things.
I realize it doesn't look good right now. I'm basically wondering if it's worth getting altered, and what I should get altered or if I should just take it back if it's not worth it.
To me it seems the waist area of the jacket is too big. I'm pretty sure it was bespoke and the original owner was kinda pear shaped. I know I need to get the sleeves of the jacket lengthened and there's enough fabric to do that. But I'm more curious about comments on the shoulder, chest, and waist area. Last pic I kinda brought it in a bit to show how much waist suppresion ~ it might need.
And sry for the crappy quality photos
