It seems that you stretched the wrong layer, not the part of the bottom bully/top skirt, also it looks like you did not "cut-out" that part, but I can't see well on your screenshot as the thumbnails are too small
Can you make your layers in the layers' stack bigger?
If you don't know how to, click on that little button while the layers' dialog is selected (see screenshot),
A context menu will open go to Preview size and chose Enormous or Gigantic,
then post a screenshot of your layers' dialog here



Result In Gigantic preview mode



When I did it, if I recall correctly... I did stretch downward only (the middle node at the bottom), then I overlap the layer "legs", adjust with the move tool using ONLY arrow keys, and it fitted just perfectly

https://ibb.co/c8NrwMN I can't increase layer size

Don't!
LR is good horizontally or vertically, unless you like horrors, I would not even try diagonally

Rotate 25 degrees with the rotate tool


Then copy 3 parts with the free select tool


You should come with something like that


Then stretch the part VERTICALY only of the layer you need to stretch AND adjust/move up the other layer


Then link or merge the layers AND rotate back by -25 degrees (minus 25) to get back at the original plan

I followed this, especially the and this is the result.

Sadly, the resolution is somewhat low? Or do I combine the high pass layer with the Sharpen (unsharp mask )layer?
