Dani, what if you just wore a decorated bra under the dress that would look good even if it showed through the armholes or peeped out under the bodice. Then you don't have to try and shorten a short dress. If the hip scarf/belt and the bra matched, it would look deliberate and kind of sexy if the bra showed a bit.
Costumes, they give us fits, don't they? (Ooh, pun not intended, but hey.) Seems like there's always something. We need dressers and seamstress who can just sew the costumes on our body before we dance.
