I say miss. She doesnt look like the sort of cheerful person to pull this off. She or her stylist got it wrong. I think the belt is an attempt to tie in the shoes which also do not match the dress. There a little to severe. I also cannot tell properly but the center front of the bodice is not sewn into the centre of the skirt.
I think the bodice would look better with a simpler skirt (lose the pattern then you could maybe keep that belt), or conversely the skirt would look better with a very simple bodice, ditch the ruch-ey-ness. It's got such great potential but it just doesn't pull together well, for me.
ok so there is room for improvement. the bodice & not being sewn to the middle is annoying me now that toottoot pointed it out.
i quite like the floral pattern, i think that's what makes it. & with the belt, it's something different. if moss or sienna wore it, i'm sure we'd all love it. it'd look too conventional if it just sat around her waist properly.
i think it doesn't pull together neatly & i think that's what makes it a hit.. the a line skirt is always meant to be neat & feminine right? but she's broken it up with a wonky bodice lol & belt which is a good contrast i think.
overall, it's so a hit from me. i've been looking for a floral dress, but i'm not liking what's out there..
