to cinch...

to cinch...

or not to cinch?

This was the question I posed to Doug after I completed this dress. So... I want to know, what do you think. I have a very pear shaped figure so cinching is not always that flattering. You won't hurt my feelings, I honestly want to know. What do you think?


and here is the little item that is causing me all the questions.
And for documention purposes - yes, I made the dress and the belt. My first ever project for me with NO pattern. Before you are too impressed, look closely. It is a grown up version of a pillow case dress. Yep! With a few darts for my womanly figure and some altering around my waiste and nice birthing hips. :) It was fun, and now I am glad I have it finished so I can enjoy it before summer's end.

Don't forget to comment on the cinching so I can clear these questions in my silly mind. :)

I like it both ways. So you can cinch sometimes and not cinch, depends on your mood! I really like that belt though, good job!

I like it both ways! You can do whatever your mood is for the day! Cinch it or not! Very cute and great job! I'm no help, I know!

oh gosh! that's so hard. It honestly looks good both ways! So proud of you and that little project. Amazing! So can you just have both options & wear the belt sometimes? It definitely shows off your waist.

Thanks to all of you who commented here and on facebook. This was a fun project and I am thrilled to get so much input. It seems the popular vote is both - which thrills me because I like it both ways. :)
