This belt is really quite skinny so if you expect this to hold up your pants, it may not do the job. More for the look than utility. It would have helped to see this belt on a model online so you get an idea of the width. That's why I only give it 4 stars, otherwise it is cute! I ordered it in "Plum Tart" in hopes that it would match the Haven Skimmers; the picture online is deceiving, as it looks more purple than plum and not shiny patent either, so I was pleasantly relieved to see it does match.
