I found another good use for these belts!  Do you know those "convertible" maxi skirts that one can refashion into a strapless dress, a vest, a draped pencil skirt, a knotted long skirt, etc.?  These flat buckle belts are perfect for when one wants to double up the skirt to wear at knee-length.  Simply fasten the belt at the waist, slide one half of the skirt under the belt and the other over, and voila, a shorter skirt.  The stretchy material and adjustable nature of the belt means that your skirt will not fall down (a risk one runs when fastening these convertible skirts with a simple knot) and since the buckle is completely flat, it disappears under the fabric.  I also wear the skirt as a strapless dress, and use the Beltaway belt to fashion the top half into a blouson or "bubble hem".  Play with it, you'll understand what I mean when you do.
