I needed a belt to cinch in a loose fitting tunic and this certainly does that.  The elastic is stretchy enough so I don't feel like I'm in a corset and the buckle stays buckled.  The color, however, is more orange than what is pictured.  I understand each monitor renders color slightly different, but there is no way that the belt I have could be pictured as the one shown.  Despite the color, it's a functional, stylish belt for a great price.
