To find how much more fabric Ciara needs, we need to add the amounts of fabric needed for the shawl and the dress: 2 1/2 yards + 1 3/4 yards = 4 1/4 yards
Thus, Ciara needs 4 1/4 yards of fabric in total.
To find how much more fabric Ciara needs, we need to subtract the amount of fabric she already has from the total amount she needs: 4 1/4 yards - 3 yards = 1 1/4 yards
Therefore, Ciara needs 1 1/4 yards more fabric. Answer: \boxed{1\frac{1}{4}}.

yards of fabric for the shawl. She needs 1 3/4
