Does she want the entire back covered, or just most of it? In the big open space between the train & the straps, I would find either the same material used for the dress, or a white silk, and sew it in, with maybe a pleat down the middle so it looks intentional :)

If the shoulders need to be covered too, I’d take the same fabric and fill in the sides of the “x”, adding fluttery cap sleeves on.

Since she’s well endowed, would the front need to not be so low? In that case, I would build the front up into rectangles on both sides of the chest, with a definite separation in the middle, for a little sliver of skin.

I wish I could doodle this, since I’m afraid it’s not making sense.
