I really did NOT like this belt., the main reason being that the description does not point out that it's patent / shiny, and it makes it look cheap.
My personal opinion is a 1 star for this, but I left it at 3 because I figure some people might not mind the shiny, maybe it's just a personal preference - but be warned ahead of time, since it's NOT included in the description.

It is also very long - I am a 27-28" waist and was near to the tightest setting, so there was a lot of excess that would have had to be tucked in.
