    As Alber Elbaz has said "the belt is an element of control" as it doesn't only give shape to coats, but makes the woman feel more confident and sexy.

    Hi Carrie,

    Thanks for your visit, always lovely to see you.
    I am going to get my overcoat drycleaned so hopefully I will not be needing it until next winter.
