The belt looks great better than without it. It really looks good on you and the piping takes it up a level.

The belt and the piping really adds to its 'eye-candy' affect. I understand about time-consuming projects, but this (in my estimation) was worth the extra effort. As a plus sized woman, I don't see this type of coat in stores. Now I know, me and Mrs. Janome need to get committed to produce a winner like this.
