I'm not impressed with the front view without the belt, but the side view looks good. I think you could wear the dress either way and adding the belt totally changes the look and make the dress more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-709403 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 16:36:51 +0000 Angie 709403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-709367 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 15:47:03 +0000 Anonymous 709367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love with the belt and sandals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-709320 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 14:18:33 +0000 lynn 709320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it both ways so that's like having two dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-709313 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 14:08:52 +0000 deb 709313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it belted, and you look great in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-709306 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 13:54:42 +0000 RunnerChick 709306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good on you both ways. Personally, I like it without a belt, but that's just my personal preference. It's amazing how much difference a belt can make - it really changes the vibe of the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-709221 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 09:42:59 +0000 krishnidoux 709221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both looks are good to me! I was going to write in your previous thread that I actually like the dress sans belt, wide hem and all. But now that I see it with belt, I have to say, I also like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-708249 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:35:01 +0000 Queen Mum 708249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh yes. the belt completes the outfit. perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-708211 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:08:13 +0000 Kristin L 708211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the belt and cardi! I have another idea for the dress. Could you wear a button down tied at the waist with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-708208 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:06:53 +0000 Beth Ann 708208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this dress anyway you'd try to wear it. Actually, I love it unbelted best at the longer length, but then, I'm a midi girl. With the belt, I like the addition of the cardi.</p> <p>The fabric and the light but grown up blue are wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-708020 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 04:41:14 +0000 jayne 708020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab with belt, with wide belt! It changes the whole attitude I think! adds a nice masculine touch to a very feminine dress and shortens it perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-707936 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:36:25 +0000 sarah 707936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually liked it without the belt. But I'd be curious to see it with a skinnier belt. #5 looks pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-707919 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:17:52 +0000 cjh 707919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab!!! This looks great and you look very happy wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-707915 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:16:08 +0000 Preppy Pear 707915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! That's a beautiful belt, but I wonder how a skinnier belt might look, worn a little looser?<br /> I really liked the dress without the belt, too, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-added-a-belt-to-the-handkerchief-hemline#post-707904 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:06:59 +0000 Arya 707904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Per the advice of many YLFers (thanks!), I tried this dress with a couple of different cardigans, jackets, and belts (see previous thread, "Hemline Hassle"). I like the idea of a skinny belt, but I only have a dark brown one &amp; it didn't look right. This wide belt pulled the look together, taking the dress from "It looks like a nice, comfortable dress" to "What a pretty outfit!" (quotes from my husband!). I had the cardigan on during the cooler part of the day, and was happy to have two options - with or without another layer - that looked nice for clinic.</p> <p>I feel like the belt helped solve some of the look &amp; feel of excess fabric on the side of the skirt, and it clearly defines my waist. It also shortened the skirt length a teensy bit, which in the end I liked much better. Last but not least, the leather of the belt bookends the leather of the sandals, creating a more pulled-together look. Overall, I think that belting this dress makes it feel more "me" than wearing it loose, as is.</p> <p>I posted no-belt and belt photos, for comparison.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
