Is it possible at all to separate the layers of the bodice just a tiny bit? Pinching the lining and pulling it away from the outer fabric? If so, then you could sink the ends into that space. Carefully take a small awl, and work the threads apart enough to get the trim through. Thread a needle with a sturdy thread. Push the needle eye first through your hole, leaving a goodly tail on the backside. Lasso the trim with the loop you have created on the top side, and gently pull the trim through. To get the end back between the layers, you may have to nudge it back with the blunt end of a largish needle. If you were able to get a lot of separation of the layers, you may be able to just pull through the top layer. Carefully realign the thread of the surface layer around the trim, and voila! your ends are hidden.
I can show you in person if this is completely opaque.
