Frocktails Project Planning for a Teuta Matoshi inspired gown

I am in planning mode for Frocktails (or the only event where I won’t be too weird if I am completely extra!). The first image is the Lily of the Valley dress by Teuta Matoshi, and it’s my inspiration for my Frocktails dress. The following images are my design (not annotated & annotated).

My current plans: - LilypaDesigns Kanon dress for bustier & puff sleeves - Hack the Charm Patterns Grace dress for the tulle bodice overlay - Deep pink cotton sateen for the base layers - Soft peach tulle with pink embroidered flowers for top layer (purchased on Etsy, but I have seen same fabric on Temu)

Wanting feedback on: - Tips or resources to help hide the bust darts, I can’t see any dart seams on the original Teuta gown, but I am not sure if that’s from careful appliqué, or if the model doesn’t need bust darts - Open to suggestions for a deep collar point pattern (I haven’t started looking myself) - Suggestions or resources to help give the gown a slightly more elevated or couture finish
