Dress too plain? Add a belt?

Hi all, I was recently at my first alterations appt and had my aunt tag along. It was the first time she saw the dress and she mentioned that it looked a bit plain. The seamstress suggested another belt. What do you guys think?

Picture is from when I bought the dress.

    Hmm. I tend to really like belts and think your dress would be great with one, but I'm not sure if I'm feeling that particular belt.

    Belt is pretty! I wouldn't go over the top with it though. Nothing bigger than what you showed. What about accessories? The veil, earrings, bracelets, and shoes can add more glam to your look.

    I think she'll like it better once it fits. It's pretty big now so I think it's hard to tell. Very pretty!

    I don't think your dress is too plain, but go with what you like best. If you like the belt, go for it. But if you like the dress the way it is, that's all that matters.

    I love the dress as is! You could also do a belt. I honestly don't think you can go wrong.

    I like that belt, but a thin sparkle belt that ties in a bow in the back might be nice. To add wow to this look, I suggest adding a tiara and diamond (faux is ok) jewelry. These additions will all add sparkle and add more wow factor. Also, go for an amazing veil

    I think a thicker belt. But then again mine is pretty thick lol .. I attached a pic. I specifically requested to get a thicker belt because my dress has no beading. It's just lace and tulle so I wanted something to be blingy and stand out.

    I'll be wearing pearl earrings with cubic zirconia accents... I am considering borrowing either Tiara or a hair piece from my friends (who married a few years ago) as my something borrowed.

    I considered wearing a necklace but the neckline is too high I think.

    I like your belt, Melissa!

    Any suggestions for good places to look for belts?

    I don't think it looks plain at all, but it's how you feel that matters.

    Sorry, I don't have any suggestions for where to buy belts. Etsy maybe?
