Belts help define your curves.

Today the costume designer for the new Sex in the City movie said that belts are going to be really important this year. I believe she said,"Suck it in and cinch it up." So I was thinking maybe I could be sewing up some belts to define what is left of my waist. And I include in that category hip bands, or belts that you wear slung low on your hips which make you look long waisted. And of course I would like to lose some inches around my waist.
