I love your dress! It seems really suited to you and you look just lovely. I think your idea of letting the hips out a tiny bit is a good one, and I second the idea of deepening the sweetheart neckline. I think that with shapewear (I myself am looking for some good shapewear!) and proper tying of the corset, this will be perfection. Honestly, even with it being pointed out, I don’t see the apliques as being really that near your crotch. I love it as-is. But if you’d feel more comfortable with their removal, then go for it. The silhouette is great either way.
Will you share what your shapewear is? I’m still looking!

farmfreshjoy: Yes I will definitely share with the shapewear. I ordered my long line bra and rago shape wear from Herroom. Its the rago 6210 and goddess lace long line bra GD0689. I found out about them from another bee on here when I searched plus size shape wear.

farmfreshjoy: Here’s a picture of the rago shapewear and long line bra. The longlinebra adjusts for a lower back if needed and the shaoewear zips up on the side.

anpjlrr71009 : it might need to be let out a little in the hip area and darts might need to go in at the bust. I’m not a seamstress but that’s what I think.

My 1st fitting went great! She is deepening the sweetheart neckline first , letting out the hips, and changing the back a bit. She said to leave the applique in the middle for now to see if I change my mind etc because she sees nothing wrong with where it is. My next fitting I will be able to discuss the hem and bustle along with a slip to go under it before going forward. Here is a better picture of the dress with everything on. Ignore my tiara as my twists is keeping it from staying down properly and I am not standing straight but to the side so it does look crooked lol
