There was so much wrong with this dress: the collar, the buttons, the sleeves. You get the point. What's funny is that the only reason I even began working on this dress is because I liked the print and I needed some of the fabric for another project.
I removed the sleeves, collar, buttons, and front faux-breast pockets.
Next, I removed the buttons from the front and sewed the front closed. Because the front looked so wonky, I decided to turn the dress around. Lastly, I removed about a foot and a half of material from the bottom of the dress and hemmed all of the rough edges.
Now I want everyone's opinion. Does the dress look better with no belt, the skinny black belt, or the matching belt? I also have a black chunky belt I am thinking of pairing with the dress...

I like the black belt best of those options - but I suspect the wider belt would be even better.
Black chunky! Love love love what you did
Add a belt definitely! Always looks good to define your waist. :$
Very cool. I kinda like it with no belt. Pretty!
Prefer with the black belt, but think a wider belt would look great
Great dress!

Love the matching belt, even if I don't like the matchy-matchy look. Love your refashion, it took a really dumpy dress into something I would totally wear.
My vote is:
Best: belt with dress fabric
Good: no belt
Okay: skinny black belt
