<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9549413, member: 79705"]Okay I think we're in agreement that a thinner black belt would be best. I'll keep an eye out for a good fabric to utilize. This seems to be a silk satin. The button order was a set of 6 so I could put one or two on it to tie it in. I have a devil of a time finding waist belts, and all the skinny ones tend to be fast fashion materials, so fabric may be the play, but I'll keep an eye out!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You're probably right that no one would look too closely! The collar would probably draw all the eyes. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had to stop looking, lest I buy yet another coat, and apparently not a cheap one at that! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I drove myself nuts trying to find other examples of this collar which I have definitely seen, and which made an impression, but can't put in the right keywords for!
