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.

    I hate belts. So I'm the minority here. Team Simplicity.

    Can you take that thin white belt off? It might even look good without it completely. If not, I agree with the seamstress about the different belt.

    I like both ways. I love your dress. But the belt to me will take away from the detailing. I'm a pretty simple girl anyways. Maybe once you add your veil, jewelry and shoes it will glam it up.

    Still debating about the belt...

    Alforev, if I take the white belt off, wouldn't there be an empty gap..?

    Norma, I was also afraid the belt would take away from the beads. I thought it was actually a very elaborate dress. I was going for simple yet elegant look.

    Thanks for the compliments Smiley smile

    I'm in the minority here but I say no belt. I think it does take away from the beading on top and moves the focus to the belt instead of the dress.

    Etsy actually has some awesome belts for great prices! I was going to purchase one but my mom really wanted me to get the one from the boutique I got my dress from. I think do a thin belt (one you posted was good) to keep with the streamlined look of the dress. It's beautiful though!!

    What about a belt/sash with a flower? It would be simple and elegant but add a little more oomph.

    I'm almost always team belt, I agree that a thicker belt would look good.
