One of my goals this summer was to find a dress that I can belt. I have about 15 belts that I hardly ever use and it just seems silly. The belt-able dresses I’ve tried have mostly been sad sacks. I was hoping for a bit more from the Wind Patterns Dress ($98).
This olive color brought out my eyes nicely. Unfortunately the store employees informed me that you can’t bring a belt into the dressing room with you. Which is pretty silly in my opinion. I can see enforcing the no accessories rule with jewelry (and even then it should be discretionary). But a belt? Come on. So I only got to see the look halfway.
The waist elastic seemed durable. Jersey doesn’t last forever but I felt like this Deletta frock would hold up well for at least a couple years to come. The medium was best fit wise for me. I was left feeling that the dress would function well as a cover-up. I already have a few cover-ups so this one was headed back to the rack. Maybe the belt would have convinced me.
You can bring belts but just ask them to leave it outside the stall and try it on in the 3 way mirror…thats what i do..I liked this dress in that color on you
