I finished my first vintage dress pattern. I'm hoping to get some feedback on fit, spots I could do better - all hopefully said with beginner love.
I do know I need to work on the halter part of it and it's pulling a bit.
Oh, and I made the facing as said in the directions. So, it runs short on the bodice. Suggestions on how to fix it without taking it apart?

Spots I spot are it needs a bit more ease at the hips and the halter section needs to be narrowed along each side, unless you want to add a dart to make it sit on your chest better without excess fabric.
Not sure what you mean about the facing. It's inside the bodice and you want it longer? Is there any hemming at the bottom you could let out and apply thin hem tape or self bias to clean finish it?
It looks like a pretty good fit, with only tweaking needed to be just right. It's challenging to adjust something so close fitting.
