Princess Mary Has an Easy Trick For Revamping Even the Most Basic of Dresses

Have you ever tried on a dress, looked in the mirror, and realized it fit more like a paper bag than something flattering and chic? Not to fret — Princess Mary of Denmark has a quick fix you'll want to try the next time you face this dilemma. For the Women Deliver conference in Copenhagen, the stylish royal opted to belt her breezy cobalt shift with a studded belt, highlighting her waist and curves instead of letting the piece hang loose.

Not only did it make Mary's ensemble infinitely more flattering, it added some flair, and the royal also took advantage of a blogger-approved hack: wrapping and knotting the extra material around the rest of the belt to hold it in place.
