First off, let me just say this belt turned my basic dresses into Renaissance Festival-ready outfits with zero effort. The PU leather feels surprisingly luxe—no cheap plasticky vibe here—and those copper buttons? *Chef’s kiss*.

I wore mine with a flowy peasant blouse on a date night, and my partner kept side-eyeing me like I’d stepped out of a pirate AU fanfic. The elastic band is sneaky comfy—I forgot I was wearing it until someone complimented my ‘corset’ (joke’s on them, it’s just magic belting).

Pro tip: Size down if you’re between sizes. My usual L was swimming on me, but the M hugs my 33-inch waist perfectly. Lacing it tighter gives serious hourglass illusions—bye bye, lunch bloat.

Only con? The hot pink version is a bait-and-switch nightmare (velcro closures?!). Stick to the classic black/brown unless you want craft store cosplay vibes.

10/10 for making me feel like I invented waistlines. Even survived a turkey leg feast at the Ren Fair without rebellion.
