Victorian Hands Belt in Antique Brass

I wish I hadn't waited so long to order this belt! It's been on my wishlist forever and I finally pre-ordered it this spring. It arrived mid-June. It's absolutely gorgeous and luckily the sizing was spot on for me!

The belt is genuinely even more beautiful than I was expecting it to be. The hands are heavy, and sturdy. You can tell how well-made it is. My waist teeters between 27" and 29" depending on various factors, and the medium size fits very well as there are several notches for adjustments. I want this belt in every color. I'm getting so excited planning all sorts of outfits specifically around this belt. So happy with this purchase!

The overall feel of the belt is very nice! But I'm not a big fan of the closing mechanism, since the hook protrudes quite a lot on the backside (i.e. Into my stomach) . The belt is also quite big, I'm in the middle of the sizing range and I need to add snaps to make it fit. Plus points for the added snaps, hook and screws, though!
