Saw this on Katie Couric and was all excited that FINALLY there was a belt that would bring in the gaping back of my pants and allow for a smoother silhouette!  Unfortunately, the belt did not work any better than the other belts I've used to fix the waistline in the back. However, the buckle in front is very nice and lies smoothly, just as advertised.  So, if you're not having to wear this belt to fix major waistline problems and just need it to keep your pants up, this is a nice belt.
