Add padding under the chest and let it extend to your upper abs. That's what I did to resolve the chest area caving in, looks pretty natural.

I'm going to add padding as well. Most likely some sort of large shoulder pads. I cut a slit in my jacket to remove some of the side foam. Noticed that the back of the star has a metal bracket which makes the star sag even more. It could probably be removed and reinforced another way to make it lighter. Including pictures of the bracket.

Minor update, I re-painted the pleather parts above with a dark turquoise mixed with gray and black (used to be flat black in previous pics), very happy with how the color turned out.

Mine doesn't, stays put like it looks on the pics. If you're still having some issues with it, you could try adjusting the clips behind the star.

For me it's not the star itself....When I raise my arms, the whole jacket comes up, then when I lower my arms, the bottom half of the jacket stays up and the star drops down because of the weight. So then I have the material just below the star folded up partly in front of the star. If that makes sense? Seems like I need some way to pull the jacket down, I'm thinking attaching them to the pants?

The sleeve/vest mod I outlined earlier would fix 95% of that issue

I had a friend help so I'm not sure what they would charge. And if you use a navy undershirt you should be OK

Did you use foam in the shoulders as well?

Has anyone taken any padding out of the waist area of the suit to trim it down? If so, where? What worked well for you?

That's strange, I don't have that issue with mine. When I raise my arms and bring them back down, the jacket goes down normally. Judging from the photos you posted, adding chest padding and doing the 2-piece conversion should do the trick.
