Please excuse the wrinkles! I had been at a party before taking this picture. I don’t think I’m happy with this dress. Although I LOVE the look of a midriff band, I think it’s not flattering to me. I wore this before finishing the belt and felt it looked better. Based on comments I’ve gotten about this dress elsewhere, that seems to be a common opinion. The skinny belt looks oh so 50’s to me, but not every dress works with one, I think.

It turned out quite lovely! I’m sorry you don’t feel the midriff looks works for you personally (though I must say you look lovely regardless!). I’ve often wondered if I’d be able to pull it off or not… I love the look in general, but I’ve never worn a dress in that style, so don’t quite know how it would look on me.
