I'm talking belts that you put around your actual waist, above your belly button -- not ones that go across your hips. I need some tips for belts to look out for. I think a very skinny belt might work, but the ordinary leather kind that you would use to hold your pants up look just plain ridiculous on me if I try to belt them over my top, at my natural waist. Should I be looking for something stretchy? Something with a chain? I'm going to give waist belts a try, but I'm SUCH a newbie, and I don't know anyone else in real life who wears belts over their top or dress.
