Jacket With Moss Stitch Bands 2

So I made two new sleeves with much wider wrists and I like them. I then seamed the shoulders and proceeded with the neckband. This I don’t like so much. The seams seem ENORMOUS on such a tiny garment, the neck shaping looks awful and the picked up stitches are bad. It’s all bad. Oh and I dropped a stitch from the back neck and can’t seem to get it back. Debbie Bliss Wool Cotton behaves like cotton, it’s not very forgiving.

I am going to de-seam it, rip the fronts back to the start of the neck shaping and short row them and I am going to undo the cast off sections of the back. The shoulders I will graft together and live stitches will work much better for the neckline. I hope.
