I removed the section between the bodice and the first row of lace, and sewed the two parts of the dress back together. I removed the zipper althogether, as it wasn't nessasary on the new dress.
A lot better.
A try at styling it.
By the way, I just bought the suit jacket in a thrift shop. I fit me perfectly, except I had to shorten the sleeves by 2½ cm (1")

YES, the dress looks heeeeaps better - thumbs up.
Talking about your 'lucky find' with the jacket: to shorten the sleeves only = super lucky!!!
Have been out yesterday with a family with members of 'average' hight of 1,90 m (= actually: only a 9 year old and the family dog are 'under sized' ;-) ) and heard horror-stories about buying garments ^^!
Long live the 'shortleggers' ;-) (= bottoms up!)
