Abundant multicolor palettes (the size of a nickel) and gold coins crocheted on beautifully. Makes a nice sound for shimmies and hip lifts/drops. The length is truly 70 long, with the decorated part being 42 long, adequate enough to go round my full hips and also a good portion of my belly. (I wear a size 20/22 pant, and my main complaint with normal hip scarves is that they cover my back hips only to my sides, and leave the majority of my belly unjingled so to speak. I was a bit dissatisfied with the length and weight of the underlying piece of chiffon, which is very very sheer and only 5 long at back center. I felt it did not support the weight of the jingles all that well, and with the chiffon being slippery by nature, would require quite a bit of pinning to keep it on during an advanced belly dance class. In order to stabilize the weight of the belt and also adjust the vertical length to provide more booty coverage, I crocheted a 1-1/2 inch band out of medium weight (4) yarn which had metallic glints on to complement the belt. I then hand sewed it to the top rolled edge of the chiffon from end to end, taking care not to obscure the little gold bead edging at the top or at the side ties. Once I did this, I really really like the hip scarf, it is now perfect for me. For those of you who crochet and are so inclined, I used approx half of a 3.5 oz skein of Isaac Mizrahi Barrymore yarn and a size I hook. I chained 202 stitches to get the 70 inch length of the scarf, then single crocheted five rows to makes this waist band/belt. Two things that contributed to the three star rating - the heavy plastic smell out of the padded envelopes upon arrival (as though the palettes were freshly minted - similar to off-gassing) and please note it took exactly two weeks for the shipment to arrive, so be prepared to wait.

I love it, its so pretty as the picture shows

This is a nice belt but just not bif enough. Im an 16/18 and it did not go all the way around. It is bigger than others just about 6 to 8 in too short.

It was not as long as i thought it would be.

Cute.

I'm size 8 and pretty self-conscious about my butt. I'd rather the scarf drapes longer to cover most of my butt but it doesn't. As I dance Zumba it hikes even higher, causing it looks more like a belt than a skirt. Also the sequin pieces doesn't cover all around my butt so it look kinda funny.I'm gonna have to buy another type of skirt that has at least 3 rolls of coins... I tried a few that was provided by my zumba class and they drape down lower, and the scarf is also longer so you have plenty of materials to tie with. The coins covers evenly horizontally, and vertically, unlike this Bellylady belt being sold here.If you're pretty fit or skinny I think you might like this belt. otherwise, a narrow and short scarf like this might make you feel more self-conscious when you try to get fit.

I thought it would be longer, but it works just fine. The non-metal coins are a light plastic. Does not make a very clangy noise like a regular hip scarf.

Loved the colors, but it is shorter than other Zumba scarves and the jingles don't drop below your bum to give the proper jingle. But...I got lots of compliments on the colors.

The belly scarf with paiillettes that arrived looked different from the one that I had ordered. I called the 800 number of the company that mailed it to ask them two questions about the item: 1) there was no paperwork in the envelope for returns or other information, and 2) I wanted to confirm that this was indeed the same item as depicted online and that I was imagining the differences, or that I was right, there was a similar, but different scarf. I called a second time and I am still waiting for a response. Not impressed with with customer service or their contact information.

Its pretty but still big on me even though I ordered small :-(. Also, it doesn't have enough coins so it doesn't make a lot of sounds.

This hip scarf is fun and colorful and has held together so far. My only criticism is that the colorful coins are small plastic pieces and they don't make much noise when you shimmey.

I got a lot of compliments on my hip scarf this weekend at my belly dancing class. It was very cute and came fairly quickly in the mail. The only thing I would change is the tote. The bag looks alot cuter in pictures, but hey its free! I still like the ba
