This is a wide belt, but the elastic is a good quality that dosent fold or curl!! The buckle has rhinestones and looks like a designer logo!! I love that it enhances many outfits and seems to work well with many things that didnt look 'quite right' before the belt was added! I would reccommend this to anyone who thinks they would like to 'try' a belt with some of their outfits. Until you try it, you dont know if it is just what that dress or blouse actually needed !
