W-dress belt

Hi,

Hoping you ladies might be able to help me. This is my w-dress (from Phase Eight). I was thinking of having something to 'jazz' it up, maybe a belt to go round it, vintagey looking with buckle etc. Do you think it would go and where on earth would I start looking for something like that?!

    Honestly, I think a belt would ruin it. You might get away with a ribbon sach but personally I don;t think it needs anything

    I agree with Dolly, the dress is lovely as it is. I think the buckle above is too blingy to fit the style. A ribbon would work though. Although on second thoughts, there is a lovely horizontal seam above the waist and you'd lose that effect with even a ribbon. I'd leave it.

    Looks like it is empire line, so perhaps a waist belt/sash would look odd? I make various belts and sashes. Maybe something like this?

    or this

    I think it's lovely as it is. I think a belt would ruin the delicate-ness of it.

    I really wouldn't add anything to it, it is lovely. It will allow you to mybe go for a pretty bracelet

    I wouldn't put a belt with an empire line dress, it would ruin the shape of the dress.

    I would focus on jewellery, but the dress itself is beautiful.

    I agree with MrsC no belt but some amazing 20's vintage jewellery - are you having a side tiara/headband?!

    I really don't think you should have a belt, the dress is absolutely stunning and i honestly think it wouldn't work like other have said.

    Go all out on a gorgeous side tiar vintage looking and drop pearl earrings or something, beautiful.

    My headpiece is a Polly Edwards side tiara and looks quite vintagey, that sort of thing would look beautiful. Google them!

    I agree with the others, it is beautiful as it is. Timeless elegance! Get a beautiful vintage style beaded bag, a vintage necklace/headpeice.

    If I hadn't been all about the 50s dress, I would have sooo gone for something like this. Classic.

    PS would love it if you could flash a pic of you in it. It really is stunning.

    I am jealous.

    Thank ladies for the advice, looks like 'no belt' is pretty unanimous! I've ordered jewellery matching necklace, bracelet and earrings and have a comb for my hair as having an up do .Jewellery is precious in pearls range from glitzy secrets.
