The addition of a belt to your gown can give you a totally different look. There are a lot of things that need to be taken into account when choosing a belt for your bridal gown. One is be sure that the design of the dress lends itself to wearing a belt. For instance you would never wear a belt around the waist of an empire line wedding dress.
