I agree with the knitmachinequeen's post about the FBA. That is the only way I can get my armholes to fit correctly.

After experiencing a bit of disappointment with the fit of some of the patterns I bought lately, I almost prefer updating some of my own old tried and true patterns.

The fit is great - especially the back view. I can imagine it with the belt too (or a brown leather one). I wonder what it is that is making you not love it? The armholes? If so, could you wear a white singlet underneath?
