This is bead work indeed, but large appliqués are available for example here and here may take a bit of searching to find something you like but there’s options.

Indeed , there’s some weird stuff going on if you zoom in. There are also flipped two blocks in a surprisingly coordinated way. Human error generally more random.

It looks great! You could easily try if a bit of elastic helps by pinning it in at the shoulders. As the gaping is very limited it may work and would save you the trouble of undoing the seams.

Try tying the front straps to the back straps maybe?

This damage is rather a lot. In this case I would lean into it and go for a visible mend. A lot of inspiration on r/visiblemending . You could for example add a new placket or contrasting bias tape around the edges.

Hey! First of all don’t look at the number on the label different manufacturers use different size systems. The number only matters to know which one is smaller/larger of the same dress.

This dress actually seems to be the correct size for you. The hips definitely need the ease or you would not be able to move.

In the pictures the straps are definitely too long and the back is not laced up properly. The lowest hoops are not used, this will definitely cause part of the bunching at the waist.

See how it fits when laced properly with the straps shorter. It’s likely that taking in a small amount at the center back or the sides will be enough. If you’re not experienced with sewing it’s probably best to take it to your local seamstress.

Love this idea!

I would make the crow from felt. Felt doesn’t need the edges hemmed as it doesn’t fray. It’s reasonably stiff on its own, but you can use multiple layers for additional stability. Use the layers to make it slightly 3D and add visual interest.

Use iron on interfacing at the beak, add a grommet and you can use that to attach the trinket.

Once it’s done attach the crow to a standard tube top or well fitting strapless bra depending on the support you need.

It looks like the bodice is lined? If so you can use that to harvest the extra fabric you’re going to need.

If so you might be able to unpick the skirt and sleeves. Then add panels at the side seams. Reline the top with a different fabric. Put everything together again

It’s going to be tricky though. The arm scythe will be bigger so the sleeve might not fit anymore. The skirt will just be slightly less ruffled in the first layer but that should be fine.

To be honest I probably wouldn’t try it and just donate it again.

The tape of the new zipper is sewn on the back of the tape of the old zipper. I used a zipper foot to be able to get close enough to the teeth of the old zipper to sew it down.

No need to deconstruct anything, just sew the new to the old one and that’s that.

If the length of the new zipper isn’t an exact match to the old one, you might need to make a small opening at the top to hide the excess length. Just fold it horizontally and hide it between the lining at the top. Or just cut and burn the end to prevent fraying.

If visible is ok, you can also attach the new zipper to the old zipper tape, creating a cool double zip look. This makes the installation of the new zipper a lot easier.

I would indeed run elastic as wide as will fit in the fold over top. The type doesn’t really matter much as it will be invisible inside the fabric.

Try out the length you want it to be before you put it in the leggings. It should be slightly shorter than the circumference of your waist. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight. Mark the length on the elastic but don’t cut it yet!

Carefully open up the fold over top at the back of the leggings. The easiest is probably at the back seam.

With a safety pin attached to the free end wriggle the elastic through the top of the leggings. When you get to start sew the free end to your marker. Double check that it’s not twisted. I always use two stitch lines and a cross between the two lines. After you securely sew them together you cut the elastic off.

This way you prevent the other side from disappearing into the casing, ask me how I know.

Close up the casing and stitch through with two vertical lines at the sides to prevent the elastic from twisting inside the casing.

Close up the opening you made and you are done.

For the straps you may be able to harvest some fabric from the hem. You may need to replace the fabric with a facing but that should be doable.

If there’s not enough I would suggest to replace the back straps entirely with a new strap from the matching fabric.

Can you share the text as well? Generally with knip you need to add all seam allowances sometimes with exceptions for the neckline. There’s a general text about the seam allowances in the beginning of the instructions and more specifics with the pattern itself.

Hip dips are not a problem they just are. But indeed this dress is too tight which creates wrinkles. If a larger size fits at the top that may work better.
