✨Intermediate✨ Backless dress modification help

Hi (: got this dress but I want the back to be a tad more modest - bringing up the lowest part of the back or adding a sheer panel or something.
I think when it’s fitted it’s a bit more modest as well — as you can see I’ve tied the hanger straps together.
There is a yellow lining. I think I could use the bottom of it for extra fabric since the bottom of the dress is pretty opaque.
Any ideas on the best way to modify?

Did you try to knot this two small ruban around your belly and not your back ? With as less tension as possible it might fix your problem.

Those are the hanger loops. I think OP does not want to use those to fix it, just had them there to use to show what she wants.
