The gold is a bit bright and looks a little cheap, just as it does in the picture. The other belts from Allegra K were well made and had cute buckles/fasteners. This one just didn't make me love it, but it will work with some of my simple outfits. The size will fit up to probably a 12-14 I assume, I'm an 8-10 and it fit fine, but one size fits all isn't entirely true.
