Dear hive mind, please help me decide - I don’t trust my judgement anymore with this project.
The inspiration was this Mimi G dress

I rescued the dress (this is the one I referred to as the horrid cross of the snow queen with a polar bear)... Initially, I overdid the stay-taping of armhole and neckhole and it felt very uncomfortable on -too tight. Spent all morning rectifying it, and it fits well now. On top of that I had the stupid idea to add a ‘Chanel’ fringe at the bottom, it looked horrible and I spent hours to take it off (after spending hours to put it on. So, now I am at the complete loss on how to proceed.
The options are
Option #1 leave it as it is, hem it by hand and be done with it. It would be about 1” shorter than I usually wear dresses...

Option #2 add a cotton eyelet ruffle/tier at the bottom of the dress - this was the initial idea, I pinned a piece of it onto the hem

Option #3 shorten the dress and add a cotton eyelet ruffle/tier - the dress is lined

Option #4 - something completely different, suggestions are more than welcome
