Hi all, my mom is having some issues with her dress for the wedding. She loves how it fits in most places except in the lower back area where it is a bit tight and her shapewear has caused a slight roll. She tried shapewear that went higher up but it ended up looking very weird and bulging where the shapewear ended. We were thinking about the option of adding some rhinestone appliques just to the back of the dress - sort of like a half belt but only in the back - I have no idea what that is called. What are your thoughts on something like that? We then realized you wouldn't be able to sew a whole piece on like that because it would go across the zipper, so we were thinking two separate pieces sewed onto either side of the zipper? A full belt probably wouldn't work with this dress because of the drape in the front as you can see in the picture. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! I also included a picture of some appliques just as an idea.
