Well, it isn't perfect. Probably the dart needs to be a bit deeper to take account of relative bust/ribcage proportions within the overall measurements. Nonetheless, even that not-perfect element looks damn good.
Besides, no one is going to think, hmm, a quarter of an inch less under the arm? when they are looking at the ABSOLUTE GLORY that is the sleeves and shoulders. Does it skim the back like a swallow? Does it nip so neatly in at the waist? Are the shoulders beautifully round and perfectly placed? Is the upper chest a sweeping plane?
Yes, yes, thrice yes!
So, only sleeve headers, shields, notched collar and lapels, lining, fastenings and hems yet to go. Oh, and a matching hat.
