I have this artwork i made that needed to "melt" into a stripe pattern, my friend gave me the files to edit and there are these horizontal banding lines where they stretched the artwork. whats the easiest way to edit this and make it blend better together? the liquid tool doesn't really help, one little bump to the right or left and it makes more issues. smudge tool also little really work for the same issues.

I’m making this cute little dress and it has a structured bust with embroidery on it. when I made the muslin I didn’t include any interfacing but I noticed these persistent drag lines on the inner cup, is that something I should address? or will it go away once it’s more stiff? any advice is appreciated!
