Can anybody give a quick fit check on this henley? I'm learning to alter clothes!
Hey thanks! I'm new to this Discord, and didn't even realise that existed. Will definitely be introducing myself on there when my next project starts!

Probably sage advice, haha. I was planning to practice on a few pairs of pants I got from an Op shop for like $5 each, and then if the dying doesn't work out well on the practise pairs, I'm probably just going to drop that part of the project and stick to just the alterations. I appreciate the warning though; I'm just not a fan of the pinstripes myself.

Thanks! I'll leave as is, and save this measurements for applying to others. I appreciate all the help!
My next project is altering some pants, including the pair I'm wearing (planning to dye to remove the pinstrips, then take it in very slightly around the seat and hips and reduce the taper) and a pair of chinos from when I was MUCH heavier (taken in and up heavily). I'll probably end up matching this one with the chinos if they end up working out!

Thanks! I think "dressier" might have been the wrong choice of words; I guess I want a casual outfit that's "nice". As in, the level of formality you'd be able to wear to a nicer cafe or coffeeshop. I really don't enjoy wearing jeans and tshirt combos or athleisure wear.
In terms of the fit, what are your thoughts about right above the belt, where my top billows out slightly? I'm trying to decide if I should take it in by a small amount there, like a half or full inch in total, or if I should just leave it.
I'll probably be subbing out the pants as soon as I get the top part of this outfit sorted. Most likely a solid colour, with a straight cut instead of a taper. I'm tossing up between chinos or ankle pants/trousers.

Thanks! I'm most likely going to be swapping out the pants for some non pinstripe ones soonish; right now I wanted to get the top sorted before I buy any new items, so that I don't have to use my budget on multiple things. I'm most likely going to go for similar pants (because they're comfy haha) but in a solid colour, and likely with a straighter cut.

Anybody able to give a quick fit check on this shirt and pants, and feedback on the outfit?
Also, bonus points if anybody can suggest any layering options that might go with this outfit!
