I am from St Augustine FL , so I manage to fix the problem with slight damage to the edge of the bottom seam but the cover strip seems to hide it well. Now the only problem is I found out my thighs pieces are too thick. I'm skinny and i'm 5' 8" tall I have a few ideas what to adjust and cut but I'm still nervous about detaching the cover strips all over again ;/. Know any 501st members that can help me before rogue one comes out?
