I LOVE this silver & black hip scarf!! I am very happy with this purchase! Quality item at a good price, not at all cheaply made. All of the coins are securely sewn on, and it is exactly as the photo advertises.  It's a little heavy, due to so many rows of coins, on a soft, velour-like black material. The top two rows of sequins are mainly silver, with iridescence, so when it hits the light it sparkles a beautiful rainbow color.  I am 5'5" tall, and wear around a size 10 in pants. I tie the scarf around the top of my hips (which measure 36"), and it goes almost all the way around. The layers of coins are long enough to cover my butt. When I tie the ends on one side, there's only about a 7.5" open space at its widest point, which doesn't cover anything. That being said, I've paid more for other coin hip scarves that don't cover as much as this one does. I would highly recommend this hip scarf!! If i didn't already have one in gold, I'd definitely buy one just like this one.  I'm looking forward to belly dancing in this!  Fast shipping was an added bonus as well!
