Jupp. I like wearing belts and the quality of most is dismal. You have to pay a serious amount of money for a belt, that will survive even a year of regular wear. And not that I mind paying for quality...but considering the small amount of material and hardware needed and how easy belts are to manufacture, belts are really overpriced compared to other articles of clothing/accessories. I often make fabric belts for outfits for that reason and am considering getting into leatherwork, even.

I got something similar as a gift from family stationed to Afghanistan years and years ago. They found it at a market and thought it fit my style and appreciation of dance, not realizing it was a real vintage custom dance piece and probably worth far more than they paid even though it was missing a few stones. Yes, it has semiprecious stones inlaid into each plate piece and not cheap ones either! They didn't realize that though; it was just "something pretty" and coordinated with a bracelet to be an extra special gift.

@@violentviolets508there is no problem wearing Moroccan caftans everyone’s know it. We do not have any problem with peole wearing our traditional Cloths. The only thing is not to call it another name like what Algerians do. They appropriate Moroccan traditions and call it Algerian or North African when it’s the history of Morocco not all North Africa. That’s all but everyone can enjoy all Moroccan traditions.

In Morocco we have that kind of belts, called mdama 😊 mostly used for big events but guess you can wear them for everyday outfits too if the look is suitable 😊

Edwardian dresses are just so beautiful. I'm a Regency girl, myself, but the details and craftsmanship on something like what you're wearing is breathtaking. Edit: and yes...lets bring back adjustable metal belts, it's such a cool concept. I'm really surprised, they're not more of a thing nowadays, what with the vast variety of sizes we have to accommodate now.

Honestly most women who would need to buy more links would complain or not buy it just based on that. I don't actually think that's the best answer for inclusivity, probably just offering multiple sizes like we do now is better

My mother has one similar to this made of brass with ornamental head. It has hook on both the head and the tail to be clipped onto any length to fit the wearer's waist. It's a vintage style belt popular for using with traditional and ceremonial costume, don't see people using it with modern clothes.

My mom used to have a few metallic fashion belts from the 80s and I was always so super fascinated by them. When I would play dress-up with her clothes, I almost always put one on that looked like a bunch of ornamental, unmonitozed coins. She has the most amazing fashion sense.

@@Traci_Websinger oh I remember that. Wow awhile back now, I made a mermaid tail by knitting over a thousand metallic scales together with cotton yarn. It was a massive drowning hazard, and if a single scale got scratched it would absolutely rust, but technically it was water… able? lol. I always wanted to make an other one but couldn't afford the scales for a round two. So I was thinking while reading your comment, maybe I'll just collect a bunch of pop can tabs and make it that way lol.

Reminds me of those fancy watch bands that you can adjust similarly.
It looks like the north African traditional belt ... usually in gold ( used to be made of real gold) and it's worn with lots of different traditional clothing like Fergani , Naili ,caftan and many others and it usually contains different gems.

That. Belt. Is. gorgeous!!! Beautiful dress too!!
So that’s why the magic belt from the oz books looked like that

That is a really beautiful belt. I can't believe how old it is. That really amazes me. I am so fascinated with super old clothes and accessories like this because they really are beautiful but mostly because they're withstood the test of time. The girl, ladies, and women from these times dressed so elegantly. I love really old clothes. ❤
Absolutely gorgeous! 🥰

The way you styled the dress with the belt reminds me of how Queen Amalia of Greece used to style her dresses. She wasn't of Greek descendance but loved the country to her core and embraced pieces of the traditional style with hers. She would wear her long dresses with a type of belt like this, a red gilet with gold-thread hem and the red small hat we call " fesi".
That is so beautiful I want the belt
That is so cool!
What a find ! And it compliments the dress so well !
You can just tell how beautifully constructed it is, especially when she puts it on! Instant snatched waist 👌😫
This is so cool! love your dress
💐 Your dress looks like a wedding gown.
I absolutely adore older types of belts like these, they are unique and durable and immediately make the outfit look complete. I wish they would make a comeback into everyday use. 😊
That's funny .. even they bumped their elbows back then!😂
Oh, thank you for the close up. It is so beautiful.
We still use these in morocco. The wealthy people own them in real gold. Typically worn during weddings and big celebrations. The bride always wears different gold belts
Absolutely beautiful workmanship. If you could find anything like that today it would cost thousands of dollars.
Love this. Thank you.😊
I've never seen them before, how beautiful! It goes well with the dress you're wearing, adds just the right touch!❤
I’d love to have one of these for myself at some point!
We have the same blets that we wear in Morocco with takchita and catans we call them " mdama" . They usually come in gold and they're worn for special occasions such as weddings
I purchased one just like that one in Mexico. Pure silver and sometimes I have used it like a bracelet. It’s a wonderful piece in my wardrobe.

i love the style of the north american covers because they take themselves seriously while also conveying a fantastical element. i feel like the covers which use a photo might imply to the reader that they're supposed to believe that actual cats are supposed to be doing all the things in the books which isn't really the case. i think the original north american covers are soo successful it's kind of amazing to see them side by side with less successful covers (as well as covers which totally understood the assignment like japan, korea, taiwan, and some of the german ones).
For those who are wondering: Yes, these types of belts are still being made, for example in Morocco they are still being made :)
Having the box is extra special and adds value to the piece. As does the screwdriver. Keep it safe. That is special.
Wow! Amazon was killin' it all the way back in the 19th century too😂
That is gorgeous! A belt like that would be really, really helpful at accommodating people with different sized waists.
Not sure why this popped up on my page, but after seeing the old belt and you still have the box was awesome. I love collecting old advertising and all the wacky ways the used to promote things 😂
