[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually don't think most of them look good. I am thin, tall, and pretty flat chested. I still dislike this style on me. The ones that look good have tailoring. Otherwise, a belt just results in a lot of excess fabric getting bunched up and looking bulky / sloppy.

Hmm... Are you thinking of the same type of shirt dress as I? i think of true shirt dresses as having set in waist bands so the belt really is sort of decorative and would never bunch up the fabric more.

There are ones that have no set in waistband that are kind of straight up or down or mildly A line where a belt is essential to having a waist. There I could see why the fabric would bunch up and could look sloppy if you have a less than perfect figure.

This vs that, both from Brooks Brothers:

I'm a NP, but I think ones that come with a belt and defined waist was not my first thought.  I was thinking of more A-line or straight styles when I read the OP.  Mainly because I'm not sure who would struggle to style the dresses you posted, they either fit and look good on you or they don't. [/quote]
