Bow is satiny and well made.  Closes with two snaps.  No issues with sizing.  I have a thick waist (low hip to waist ratio) and would well accentuate the right outfit.  The elastic band is standard - just can't look as "fancy" as the satin bow.  Hence, was not achieving the look I wanted.  The model in picture makes this look very put together with her outfits, however.
