Dress problems

I have now started my dress pattern, having checked the fitting it turns out I have hit another problem, I always thought I wouldn't need a zip as the material I chose had a stretch to it and I preferred it to be without a zip. However when I tried it on the mannequin, altho it did fit, it didn't fit as good as id liked as it was quite tight when taking it off and putting in on at the bust area.
So I am now going to add an invisible zip into my dress as I have enough seam allowance to do so.

Also as whilst it was on the mannequin I felt the back was too baggy so I made it into 2 large pleats rather than 3 pleats, as throughout my toiles I have struggled to get it how I'd like as it changed each time I put it into a pattern even when focusing on the centre back.

I can now see what my outfit looks like together even tho the dress isn't completed.
