I was excited to find such an unusually wide obi belt. The material is soft, it criss-crosses nicely in the back and ties easily. However, unfortunately, it doesn't fit. My waist is on the smaller side (25 inches) and this belt cannot be pulled in close enough to my body without creating unflattering bunching in the fabric and the even bigger problem of gaping at the top of the belt, so that the middle part of the belt is against my body (albeit bunched) but the top part doesn't touch me. It looks completely ridiculous from the side view. Unfortunately, despite the promising adjustability of this belt, it is not a one size fits all item and, regretfully, is going back.
