With or without the "belt"?!

Kerry, on November 15, 2019 at 3:51 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 39

I fell in love with this dress because it was plain - nothing like I had been trying to find. then, when it came, I was so worried it was "too plain". And ordered a belt. The belt was too thin, so I removed the embellishment, and the seamstress can attach it... but I can't go back on that decision....

I've considered finding matching satin/making a new belt, but I just don't think it will look right / think it will take away from the dress/waist. So. With, or without?!

The first try (it doesn't fit)

    Well, that's no help (in the decision making)! I'm glad it's comfortable to wear.

    I honestly love both. I would personally do the belt for the ceremony and then no belt for the reception. Kind of like an outfit change without changing your dress. Haha

    I'm not usually one to vote for an added belt, but that one looks amazing with your dress. It looks like the dress came with it. Your dress is gorgeous Smiley laugh

    I love it with the belt especially with your tattoos. For some reason I feel like it accents them more. I generally do not like belts, but that belt is perfect for that dress

    I would say no belt on this one. I certainly hope this doesn’t hurt your feelings (that’s definitely NOT my intention), but it looks like a super hero belt to me. Sorry I saw that in the picture and couldn’t un-see it, so thought I’d mention for consideration.


    However, I LOVE your dress without the belt. I love that the clean elegant lines of its design contrast with your tattoos. The combination is truly beautiful!

    I like it better without the belt! It's gorgeous either way, but the classic elegant of your dress makes a statement all on its own!

    Without. The dress is beautiful & sophisticated, your tattoos are the accessories!


    Does it have to be attached? If not I say without for ceremony & photos, then add the bling belt (and sparkle hair comb) for the reception.

    It looks so stunning on you! It’s quite similar to my dress actually. I like it without the belt. If you’re wearing a veil, you could always get one with some crystal designs so give you that bling effect.
