My Purple Dress

Here's a dress I finished a couple weeks ago, it's just been sitting on the sewing machine waiting to be ironed. I'm not so sure about the tie belt I made, so I would like to know what you think. In case you can't tell, it's a purple pinstripe seersucker fabric. I got it at Stitches. I put some purple piping in it, too (the first time I've used piping and I love it!) I'll put a close-up so you can see the belt. You can't really see the fabric much better but oh well. It's too bad I can't wear the dress for another seven months.
