Wearing belts with dresses when plus sized?

[Notquite50]

Does this work when big? I cannot imagine wearing a belt because I have no waist and it feels like it would emphasise that. But also because I think it might be uncomfortable.

I have a couple of dresses (cos) that look a bit tent like. I have put on weight but they still fit due to tent like size but they are less flattering now. I wondered if a belt might make them wearable again. I have a big chest so might be flattering to pull dress in underneath.
i usually value comfort over style.

Ive often wondered this, Im wondering about a big wide belt so it sort of will cinch me in

I like the look from the front but it makes my bum stick out , I prefer not to.

I think it depends on how your weight is distributed. I saw this video recently and it was quite informative (only 1 minute video) and she addresses belts here too:

Thanks for the video.
