Belt looks deceptively simple and hope to see more of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2105107 Tue, 10 Mar 2020 01:37:16 +0000 Jenn 2105107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, it has some obi elements, yes.

Is that belt sort of like an obi belt? Those can be so useful!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2105095 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 23:30:00 +0000 Jenn 2105095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Angie</b> and <b>Sal</b>. This dress hasn't been quite the workhorse I'd hoped, as the fabric (viscose) doesn't feel particularly sturdy. Still, I've worn it once a month, on average, since I got it, so that's not terrible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2105086 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 23:11:31 +0000 Angie 2105086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE the way you styled it both ways! Nicely done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2105071 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 22:25:12 +0000 Sal 2105071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely Jenn!&nbsp; I think this will be versatile for many years.<br />I love the dress on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2105065 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 22:01:28 +0000 Jenn 2105065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>notsaf, racheylou,&nbsp;</b>and <b>Cardiff Girl.&nbsp;</b>This is actually only one of two belts I own, so I love that it's versatile.</p> <p><b>Joy,&nbsp;</b>I can see how leather might make it a bit more fussy. &nbsp;Bet it looks great, though.</p> <p><b>JenniNZ,&nbsp;</b>I intentionally ordered this one a size up for those luxurious long tails. &nbsp;Would yours work as a scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2104353 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 01:17:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2104353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice. I have a blue silk one in Thai silk from 1988 similar. Never wear it... my waist is bigger than it was then!<br /> Yours is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2104348 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 01:08:25 +0000 rachylou 2104348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great recommendation!

The ties are also leather and difficult to stay tied like leather shoe laces. Your silk style looks more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2104323 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 23:18:31 +0000 Cardiff girl 2104323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that style of belt and it really works with your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2104300 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 21:46:37 +0000 notsaf 2104300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What an amazing versatile piece! Kudos to you for knowing it would work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-asawa-belt-two-ways#post-2104297 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 21:30:00 +0000 Jenn 2104297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I‘ve been enjoying my Elizabeth Suzann Asawa belt. It’s deceptively simple—a long band of doubled-over silk, wide in the middle and tapered at the ends, and quite long (especially since I sized up for a longer tail). It’s a great belt with several of my dresses (including this one that isn’t easily beltable with anything thinner because of some gathering under the bust), but also works as a neck or hair scarf. </p> <p>Wearing as in photo two right now and without any pins or clips, this thing hasn’t budged all morning. That’s a minor miracle in my book, especially for silk. </p>
