sewing help

[liona777.livejournal.com]

 So I've got this dress that never really fit me right in the boob area...I want to fix that! I wanted to try converting it to a halter, but then i don't think the back would stay up properly, and it ties in the back so that might look weird. Maybe some sort of cross back thing? I need ideas, help!! Oh and the last time i sewed anything was over 7 years ago in highschool, but my friend just got a sewing machine so I'd like to start again.
