I'll try it with a belt then :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shift-dress#post-2777230 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:34:15 +0000 pwnstar 2777230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I would - but that's because that's what *I* would do. You would lose some of the blousy-ness, but I think it would create a better proportion overall (even the teeny tiny model looks like she has some bulk to her under the dress because her body gets a little lost in the fabric (and her leg line is visually interrupted/shortened by her booties)). I think it works either way, but I think a belt opens up a ton of possibilities - when you add a belt, you get to determine where you cinch/emphasize - more empire (narrowest part of your ribcage) or more true waist, whichever flatters your figure most.</p> <p>Eta: I would not belt it if it bunched a ton of fabric up around your waist - does that make sense? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shift-dress#post-2777216 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:10:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2777216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: should I wear belt?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shift-dress#post-2777212 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 12:57:13 +0000 ValentineMommy 2777212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. i love that dress!<br /> 2. i'd probably wear my hair down, but that's just because i never wear my hair up<br /> 3. i like what @pwnstar: said. big earrings to balance it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shift-dress#post-2777211 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 12:54:08 +0000 pwnstar 2777211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you were going belt-less and hair up/back, I would definitely opt for larger/statement earrings to balance out the volume on the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shift-dress#post-2777207 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 12:45:56 +0000 Mamaof2 2777207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought this dress for an event</p> <p>Would you do hair up and no necklace like the model? </p> [attach=4342/17/ox9dck.600x480.52490272.jpg]
