Custom dress conundrum. Torso too short. Is it possible to lengthen the bodice of a corset dress?

Hi! I was wondering if I could get some advice on this custom Chotronette dress.
Though I sent the company my measurements, the fit seems off. I feel like the bodice is too short for my long torso- I can't even lift my arms without exposing my chest!

The decorative top piece is also separate and doesn't attach to the dress, so it doesn't provide any support to hold up the heavy strapless dress.

The last photo is an edit of where my natural bust falls. Is it possible to lengthen the bodice of a corset dress?

Thank you for any thoughts/advice!

Can this custom Chotronette dress be altered to fit properly?

I custom-ordered this Chotronette dress, and although I provided my measurements, the fit feels a bit off. It seems like the waist is too short, the bodice barely able to cover my chest. What's worse is the decorative top piece is separate and doesn't attach to the dress, so it doesn't provide any support to help keep the strapless (and quite heavy) dress in place.

When the dress is sitting naturally at my waist and hips, as shown in the video, I can't even lift my arms without risking exposing my chest.

Do you think there's any hope that dress could be altered to fit properly?

Singing Bach’s Motets this summer, what should I read/watch?

I’m singing in a choir this summer that’s performing all of Bach’s motets, and I’d love to use this opportunity to deep dive and learn as much as I can about him!

What are your favorite books, documentaries, movies, podcasts, YouTube channels, or other resources about Bach? I’d love recommendations that explore who he was as a person, the musical world he lived in, and the impact he had on music as we know it.

Thank you!
