Yes, I guess it's not as bad as I thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1494081 Wed, 20 May 2015 16:35:19 +0000 catgirl 1494081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it without the belt! Still has waist definition to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1494058 Wed, 20 May 2015 15:54:34 +0000 Karin L H 1494058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie! Just to be sure, what is low contrast really? (I blame my language shortcomings on my Swedish mother tongue...) Is the brown belt ok or would another colour be more preferable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1494033 Wed, 20 May 2015 14:36:04 +0000 Angie 1494033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for a low contrast skinny belt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1494029 Wed, 20 May 2015 14:33:02 +0000 Karin L H 1494029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl, I've added a couple of pics now without the belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493647 Tue, 19 May 2015 18:33:40 +0000 celia 1493647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skinny belt better. I get what you say because I also have a dress like that but have you tried wearing the dress as some kind of sack dress? Or it isn't that wide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493630 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:58:44 +0000 unfrumped 1493630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skinny belt. I like alaskagirl's suggestion of one of those lower-slung belts, too. But you don't have to go belt-crazy, it looks good here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493622 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:41:03 +0000 catgirl 1493622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you show us without the belt?&nbsp; I never belt dresses because where the belt sits on me gives an empire look that I don't love.&nbsp; I'd like to see the belt lower in a V shape too.&nbsp; Great dress and boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493614 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:10:58 +0000 Karin L H 1493614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Vicki, I appreciate your comment! The thing is, the dress is very flowy and wide without a belt, which is why I like wearing it like this to get some waist definition... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493605 Tue, 19 May 2015 17:00:05 +0000 Vicki 1493605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress, too, and see why you've kept it, and I love it with the tights/leggings and red booties. Here's another alternative to really change things up. What about wearing it without a belt? Or, wearing one, low-slung, more Boho-style since that's trending now?</p> <p>I recall Angie wearing a denim dress without the belt and I loved it. This may work for you, too, Karin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493520 Tue, 19 May 2015 14:34:08 +0000 Karin L H 1493520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dixie! I like it too! I'll add a pic of the wider belt soon and see if the verdict changes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493457 Tue, 19 May 2015 11:48:12 +0000 Dixie 1493457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skinny belt with this outfit Haha, hope we don't confuse you too much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493402 Tue, 19 May 2015 06:19:34 +0000 Karin L H 1493402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AJ! I normally wear a wider, white belt with this one, but I thought this could be good for variation... I can try the wider belt when I get home today and post a pic of that, for comparison! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493398 Tue, 19 May 2015 06:05:59 +0000 AJ 1493398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at your last post with the skirt and contrasting blouse. For some reason, I prefer the skinny belt with those outfits rather than this dress. I feel like this dress needs a wider belt, but I'm not sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/narrow-belt-with-black-dress#post-1493372 Tue, 19 May 2015 04:58:53 +0000 Karin L H 1493372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- Added a picture of a wider belt that I used to wear with this dress (#2). Any preferences?</p> <p>- Also added pics of the dress on its own, without any belt (#3 and 4). It's quite flowy which is why I've preferred to wear it with a belt, but perhaps it works without too?</p> <p>I bought one (well, it came with a pack of three) narrow/slim/skinny (not sure about the correct term!) belt yesterday to wear with skirt+top, and realised it might work with dresses too!</p> <p>This is a casual black dress that I've had for years, but I still like it! Wear it here with leggings and red boots. </p> <p>What do you think? Does it work? </p>
