I think the third one would be a good compromise, flat up to the shoulder with a hint of bunching toward the waist.

my fault!...Who me!
Yes YOU !!!!...you icon of fashion
Verbal update ...been researching the belt using these pictures and others , there was a brass piece missing to the right and left of the retaining straps at front ......now in place
Also repositioned the buckles on these pieces .......
All buckles done and in place ...leaving to dry fully then it's the centre piece and surround and carefully drill out the holes
More tommorow ..inbetween review(s) ...inbetween social distancing shopping

Hi everyone
Bit of a Iffyvision update
Belt nearly done ..., little bit of tidy up on the outer buckle , then add centre and lion and crown
Once the sash is in place and I am happy then where the layers of paint have lifted I will need to fill in slightly .....then it will be a repaint of the tunic .....
It's all going to be worth it !

Bit of a Iffyvision update
Belt complete, sash done , now sorting out where previous paint layers have come off
Looks shiny where Vaseline was used to work the putty
Also redid the epaulettes ...need to redo the world and laurel leaves on them
