That is the question. My coat is all put together (sans buttons and trim) but I don't like the way it fits across the shoulders now that the sleeves are on. My original idea for the jacket was sleeveless, so I'm thinking about taking the sleeves off and seeing how it looks like that. I can always put them back on again if I don't like it.

I have to be a little more disciplined in my approach to sewing this weekend. First off, household chores and grocery shopping must take precedence or they'll never happen. Second, no sewing late into the night. When I start feeling tired, I need to stop. But I'm excited. It's all starting to come together very nicely.

Yay! I'm glad you're seeing progress with the costume! Just remember to maintain Orange Level Security Measures for Needles and Thread whenever they are not in use!

I am so impressed with your intrepidity with costume pattern variations and adjustments. If you decide you need the sleeves I'm sure you will figure out how to broaden the shoulders to provide some flexing room. Can't wait to see the finished product.

ditto what ANM said about needles!

The shoulders aren't necessarily too narrow. They just fit weird. I think the problem lies in the sleeves moreso than the back of the coat. :(
