Tailor fucked up my engagement blouse

I got a semi stitched lehenga for my engagement but the tailor fucked up my blouse design. Tell me how should this have been made instead. The bust looks flat and so weird. How can this be fixed now? I’m crying😭😭

Help me add some whimsy

I want to see what I can realistically do to make this dress a bit more whimsical. I was able to pin the bow from my mom's wedding dress to the back, which I think is already a big win!

But I always thought I'd wear chiffon, or lace, or crepe fabric for my wedding. And here I am with a shiny polyester satin.

I bought it because I love the tea length, low back, and price point (just under 100$)

Is there anything I can do to this dress to give it a softer look?

I'm wondering if I can do anything to the sleeves, or if it's somehow possible to add a top layer to the skirt (although I'd love advice here since there's no natural waist seam)

Tailor/seamstress advice/insight would be appreciated 🙏

Altering long coat to fit pear shape

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this question, but any opinions are appreciated.

I have narrow shoulders and wider hips, and trying to find a long wool coat that fits off the rack is very difficult. If it fits the shoulders, it’s tight around the hips, and if it fits the hips, it’s too big in the shoulders. I’ve read that shoulder alterations are the most difficult/expensive, so it’s best to buy what fits your shoulders and alter the rest. How does this work when the bottom needs to be let out though? I feel like there’s not enough fabric for that to be possible.

Does anyone know if this is something that can be done?

MacDuggal Embellished Gown

I bought a beautiful MacDuggal beaded gown- Mac Duggal
Sequin & Bead-Embellished Jersey Gown. I bought it too big on Poshmark (I don’t know what I was thinking). I’m obsessed with the gown but can’t wear it as is. I know nothing about tailoring/alterations. Is it feasible to alter this dress from a size 10 to a size 6? And if so, how much would that be?
The gown is…
V-neck
Short sleeves
Concealed back zip closure
100% polyester
Lining: 100% polyester
Spot clean
Imported

Dent under the bust- can this be fixed?

I went to a tailor and they said they couldn’t do anything about the line forming under my boobs. Need other opinions on this!
