Fashion Me Fabulous

I mostly see two kinds of dresses in stores right now: the fit and flare with a defined natural waist and those with no waist at all. My waist is in the wrong spot for the fit and flare dresses and the waist-less ones don’t always sit right or draw attention to the right places. I’m thinking of looking into some bold belts to solve some of these waistband issues. A large enough belt could cover up the miss-placed waist and make the fit and flare dress work for my body. It could also add a focal point for a dress in need of one. What do you think? Which of these statement belts would make dressing a cinch?

This muli-year project was started to memorialize her deceased mother who always read her fairytales. Gammelyn's Daughter The Briar Rose The Chrysalis's Child The Voyage Ms. Mitchell and her friends made all of these costumes and props. (Before becoming a full-time photographer, Mitchell worked 10 years in fashion design. The friends also have a variety of design and costume history. This is not the work of accountants and sales reps.) The landscapes are all part of the English country-side near the photographer's home. Rather than research and reimagine famous character, each one is an amalgamation that came to the photographer in dreams.
