I'd like to add another one: Perhaps a braided black fabric belt might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150348 Sat, 01 May 2010 11:21:30 +0000 April 150348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, what if you tried a contrasting belt rather than attempting to match it to the coat? Something like red or fuschia patent, or maybe lime?</p> <p>The stretchy belt also sounds good, though I imagine you'd have to size up to avoid having the belt pull the coat in too much and make it bunchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150298 Sat, 01 May 2010 04:35:11 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 150298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, can you be more specific than "slippery, shiny black material"? lol</p> <p>Why don't you just buy more fabric (many online fabric sources will offer swatches for low or no fee so that you can match the blacks or perhaps find an interesting textural contrast) and have a seamstress make one? </p> <p><a href="http://emmaonesock.com/fabrics/rainwear42016.asp" rel="nofollow">http://emmaonesock.com/fabrics/rainwear42016.asp</a><br /> (that's just one online source)</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150293 Sat, 01 May 2010 04:18:38 +0000 Debbie 150293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if this will work or not but what about a ribbon belt. I saw a trench today with one today and it was cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150233 Sat, 01 May 2010 00:50:39 +0000 Maya 150233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure Tanya but I will be watching this discussion with interest. I have a very similar coat and the belt slides out a lot, so I always anticipate losing it someday. I would try black patent first, and if that looks weird, then I would do what Sara says and just try to make it look intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150229 Sat, 01 May 2010 00:43:50 +0000 MNsara 150229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could look for a stretchy black belt with an interesting front clasp. </p> <p>I've seen belts purposely replaced on coats with a 'fashion' belt and it definitely adds interest. I don't know your trench, but I am thinking along the lines of those Betsy Johnson wider stretch belts that always have some pizzazz. . .</p> <p>Maybe get a larger size than usual so the coat still has plenty of breathing room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150173 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 22:46:55 +0000 taylor 150173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a black sash for my black trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150148 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:31:22 +0000 Tanya 150148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will try that. Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150145 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:27:41 +0000 Angie 150145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rotten luck, Tanya :0(</p> <p>Pop on a patent belt in a similar width? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-the-belt-from-my-black-trench-what-to-do#post-150140 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:16:49 +0000 Tanya 150140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess the title says it all The trench is made from slippery, slightly shiny material and the belt must have just slipped off. It does not look good without the belt -it is a double breasted style. I have tried a classic black leather belt over, but it looks off. Any ideas? </p>
