If you can find a giant blue flower to put on there, I say keep the belt. Otherwise go for a ribbon and tie it in a bow. Nice dress!

It was a joke. That's just what I immediately thought of when I read that.
But really, most IT people I know dress like Roy. Or at least in the department I work for. Nerdy t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers. Including the girls. (I'm sure more important IT jobs have people dressing more professionally.)

Bootcut doesn't have to mean bellbottoms, I consider them much closer to straight leg than flared.

Whoops, meant to say bootcut. Slip of the fingers.
Although I will hold to what I said about bellbottoms looking good on some women, though. And to what I said about bootcuts not looking good on guys. It doesn't even make sense for boots, I've never worn jeans that I couldn't fit over boots.

Ladies, I just discovered last night that Levi's is doing a new thing for different body shapes. I don't know how useful it might be, and I don't have any money to test it out, but it looks kind of nice and I wish I could get some new jeans.
nekowafer:
Lane Bryant/Fashion Bug has a similar fitting system. Unfortunately, even though their pants fit me better, they are completely unflattering. I'm the blue circle (big hips, big butt, small waist) and they are like a neon sign on my belly, making it look even bigger. I suggest finding a way to try them on before buying them.
ETA: papersatan, I love the dress. I definitely think you should get rid of the belt and loops. It would be extra awesome if you could get a wide ribbon/belt that matches the blue in the flowers and tie it right below your boobs. You might need to find a way to attach it since it's unlikely stay there easily.. maybe a few basting stitches? It would be cute to have a bow in the back but maybe that's a little too young? I dunno.

Katie, in my afternoon of awfulness when I tried on 12 different pairs of jeans and liked none of them I tried on some of those jeans. There was a levis lady in the store so she helped me out and got me to start with the demi curve ones (they were huge, we realised I had a size too big, tried a smaller pair that still gaped like hell around my waist) then went on to the bold curve which fit my waist well but made my bottom look like nothing special. It is a good idea, and I would have gotten that bold curve if just because they fit my waist, if I hadn't tried on a pair of Dr Denim jeans that made my bottom look fantastic but gaped at the back. Also probably would have gotten them if I was in a better mood, but after spending probably an hour trying on jeans and liking none of them I was feeling pretty crappy at the end of it.
