I'm sorry but wedding dresses and belts don't belong together...I don't care how much "bling" you have on your belt, it ruins the look of a wedding dress...I also think that the wedding dresses all tend to look alike once the damn belt is added...and why must everything be sleeveless? Stop the madness...
shareI think a belt can give an otherwise gorgeous dress a touch of bling that just finishes it off and makes it perfect. Depends on the dress and the belt.

Some dresses look good with the rhinestone belts...and I've seen some dresses look gorgeous with a colored sash.

There's just too many of them now...to see them once in a while wasn't bad but every stinkin' dress has a belt now? Overkill... 👰

Yeah the sash is actually less offensive to me...lol...how's the front of the dress?
shareWell, interestingly, that pic pops up all over the net (it's by Amsale, 2001), but the actual front remains a mystery. I imagine it's perfectly plain and cut straight across...not even in a curved sweetheart. Very classic, kind of 1940's feel.
I found this about it:
The Dress: A343 (a.k.a. "The Blue Sash Dress") by Amsale
Looking back, it's pretty clear that the craze began when Amsale tied a long, dramatic length of blue taffeta around one of her early duchesse satin styles. The popularity of this look inspired brides to incorporate a bit of color into their gowns, and they embraced the endless possibilities of doing so; requests for blue (or pink or green) sashes came in from all directions. Other bridal designers jumped on this trend, debuting sash designs for both brides and bridesmaids at every price point.
Alfred Angelo does a lot of dresses with colored trim--a sash and/or color down the back and in the train. Two of my husband's cousins (both of whom live in the Johnstown, PA, area) wore Alfred Angelo at their weddings, both with red.

Very pretty dress but what is going on with the models pose? Looks crazy.
shareSome dresses look better with a belt, especially plain dresses. It adds a nice touch of sparkle.
But I agree with you on the sleeveless thing. Everyone wants strapless and sweetheart, which I think can be pretty, but it's just so overdone.
The problem is everyone wants sleeveless including huge obese women. The sausage arms .... Urgh!

Good point...
Plus I think when a woman buys a dress and make tonnes of alterations (like maybe adding/getting rid of cap sleeves, removing part of the train, putting on embellishments) it makes me wonder why they're buying it? If you have to make so many changes then the dress isn't for you...

shareit depends on the dress and the belt, how decorated it is or the colour of it. it can look great but sometimes it can mess it up
I hate belts over corset backs. It ruins the while image that is supposed to be created by the lace up back.
shareActually, beaded belts or sequined belts look amazing on wedding dresses. I got my dress and loved it but I also got a sequined belt for my dress which made it look incredible. I got tons of compliments on my dress the night of my wedding....
