Dress belt help

Am I insane or does this belt make me look huge? My wedding is on Sunday and everyone is pushing for me to wear the belt as it defines my waist and adds some sparkle. But I feel like it cuts me in half and makes me look more top heavy. Please let me know what you think!

    I have never once seen a wedding dress that was improved by a belt. The fact that wedding dresses are typically floor length and one color means that a belt too often has the effect of "chopping the bride in half" - destroying the long beautiful vertical silhouette and making a bride look wider. Team no belt over here.

    Also its your wedding. Do what makes YOU happy!

    No belt! It’s not flattering on the dress and actually causes it to bunch. It brings all my focus to your mid section, where as without I see the beautiful dress!

    I definitely prefer it without the belt! it's a beautiful dress and you look stunning in it. the belt is just too distracting from the dress in my opinion!

    I've been considering the same thing for myself lately and returned a belt I spent $116 on yesterday for a one I found on amazon for $20. With this dress no belt. It allows for that lace pattern to pop near the waist.

    I like it better without the belt, I think it cuts you in half. The dress looks longer without it.

    86 the belt, it cuts you off at the waist and without it you look elongated. Maybe put it in your hair!
