Dress Advice.

Would you recommend adding a beaded bling strap to this dress or a bling belt?

Also does anyone about how much something like that would cost?

Re: Dress Advice.

I personally think the dress is gorgeous as is. But if you try it on and you think the bling belt will add to it, its not that expensive. You can find one for as low as $100 up to $500 depending on how blingy and intricate you want to go.

Either way, I think this dress is unbelievable in person (I saw it at Kleinfelds) and you will make it look beautiful!!

Good Luck!

Re: Dress Advice.

I'm not sure if the belt will work since the back looks like a corset...? But I haven't gone dress shopping yet so I don't know. Like the other bride said.. the dress is gorgeous as is though.

Re: Dress Advice.

The dress is stunning without any extra, but If I had to choose I would get a belt...the ones I like are about $300-$350...but my friend said you can go to manhattan and get an entire roll for much cheaper...we can make it a DIY project

I know that belts can get to be pricey but I saw some really nice ones fairly cheap on Etsy.

Re: Dress Advice.

I understand the need for bling but I think its perfect as is. The bling may feel like an afterthought. Besides, for the price of bling you can prob find a gorg sparkly blinged out necklace.

Re: Dress Advice.

I agree with everyone especially because of the rouching (spell check) in the middle. The dress is beautiful just as it is. If anything try a blingy broach on the top right side of the dress.

This!! Not sure if a belt would go with the dress b/c of the rouching but def check it out. I like the brooch idea!!
