Is a sash or belt for me?

Kaitlin, on February 28, 2018 at 7:50 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 18
I've been having dress regret on and off for a while. I like how belts or sashes look but I don't know about on me. I'm full figured and I'm not sure what kind to get if I were to buy one. I don't want to make my waist look bigger or weird.

    I think a nice simple belt would look great but it’s a nice dress so not needed

    You and your dress are gorgeous! I'm bad at visualizing so if it were me I'd find a couple I like on amazon that have free returns, order them, and then send back the ones I don't like, even if that's all of them. As long as it says free returns and you follow the instructions/rules there shouldn't be any issues.

    I agree amazon is cost friendly & could be a great way to go buy a sash and belt and see if that’s the idea you are going for

    I think a belt would look good with your dress

    Beautiful! I agree you should try a few on, I think a small/thin belt or sash would look nice. I dont think a big one would be necessary. You look gorgeous regardless.

    What type of alterations are you having done? That can change the dress to how you like it

    Your dress is so pretty! If you're looking to add some bling, I think a belt would look great!

    I’m full figured too, I personally think a belt makes me look smaller. I would try it and see what you think. You can order them from amazon instead of getting them from the store, it’s so much cheaper ($10-$20).

    Thanks that helps. Knowing it makes you look smaller and look good helps a lot.

    It's pretty but that may be a little too much going on. Then againy dress is simple so maybe that would work.

    There are many on Etsy! You can always do a plain solid color sash—I love the detail on your dress. I’m also plus size and I like the look of something to define my waist.

    Oh my gosh, I have so many in my favorites right now! I can’t actually recommend any because I haven’t personally bought any yet. I’ve seen a few I like from Westaire Bridal and Olivia Jane Couture. I also saw on another thread that someone recommended Bella Bella La Bella. Maybe you saw those and didn’t care for them though!
    Here’s one I favorited:
