Style Fan - thank you, I like the simplicity of this dress, which sort of balances out the crazy belt.
Anchie - I suspect you have tried marmite, it has a salty and savoury taste and is often served as a breakfast spread.
Stag and Ms Maven - because the belt is so wide it does not feel too fitted on the body. I was comfortable despite the warm weather and did not notice that I was wearing it at all.
Column - thank you so much!
