Sewing? WTH?

Trying to work on my Katamari Cousin tonight... previously, I had done an awesome job (for me) of sewing an invisible zipper into the back of the costume - everything lined up perfectly. Except that the fabric had stretched a tiny bit while I was sewing and the zipper sat lumpy when I wore it. Since the neck had also ended up too tall, I decided to

If you were judging the costume, what would you think if you saw it? Is it hidden by the cousin's head?

I get the impression that if the costume looks fairly simple, it's got to be really well constructed to balance out the apparent simplicity (not saying that the costume in question would be actually easy/simple, but if it looks like it would be).

I honestly can't say either way, tbh. Are you happy with it?

The costume does look "simple"... or at least the design is very clean, very little in the way of fancy stuff and embellishments.

TBH, I'm not happy with it, but in the sense that I have already spent far too much time on an insignificant zipper, I'm ok with just leaving it be if nobody else would notice. It is visible, since my head sits pretty high and relatively forward though, so I'm going to see if I can make an "easy" adjustment.

You've sewn that together wrong.

On the bright side, you'd only have to rip out half of it!

I'm probably not a good person to ask... you know how anal retentive I am. >_

Consensus seems to be re-do it... which is fine, just more of a pain when I should be moving on to other things.
