I have but two tips for this kind of decoration.

1. If at all possible restrain the trim with glue, zigzag machine basting, hand basting, or all three before sewing it down.
2. For future reference, the easiest approach to decorating a bodice is often to mark the outline of the pieces on fabric, embellish, and then cut and sew-- but you've probably worked that out on your own by now :-)
