This dress is a show stopper. No belt- unfortunately. Any gold chain belt will work. Has belt loops on side, can be cut off. I had my seamstress reinforce the sides by the off the shoulder straps. Please see pictures. I also had her fix some of the material on the bust and reinforce some of the drop pearls. Please see pictures. Bows on sleeves need a good pressing, one of the straps seems to be a bit rotated. In didn’t noticed it when I wore it but have included a picture. * Bodice: Structured, boned bodice with a sweetheart neckline and ruffled "bow" detailing at the off-the-shoulder sleeves. * Straps: Two delicate fabric and chain-link shoulder straps. Linen/silk blend with cotton lining * Skirt: Flared mini-length skirt with a ruffled hem often adorned with pearl-like embellishments. Zimmermann size 3 translates into US 10 according to the size chart. My measurements are estimates. 17 pit to pit and waist is 15.
