Remember how stores used to sell little clippy things that you could use to cinch the waist of the dress? There would be an elastic band, usually covered in ( Read more... )

A cinch belt? Or an elastic cinch belt?

try any fabric stores, walmart, joann's, michaels... or, would the dress work with a thick belt? belted just under the boobs? (that spot works better for me)... there are lots of thick belts out there now ( ... )
