To Belt or Not To Belt?



I love voluminous dresses on others and feel like sporting the look on weekends that I'm not doing much: Walking to the coffee shop, entertaining friends for brunch, working at the local library, or just laundry and pressing family's clothes...



This Saturday was one of those days that we were around the house with good friends followed by an afternoon hike at the near by canyon. These old white pedal pushers and Max Studio patterned dress served me well and was easily transferable into hiking attire, but I went through my usual thought process of belting them or not belting them when I was getting dressed. Which one is better? Belting breaks the pattern, but does more justice to my shape. On the other hand, this is a voluminous style and its purpose is to be free flowing. Which way do you think is better? I'm definitely more comfortable with belting the look.



Do you wear voluminous dresses? Do you belt them or not?
