Hi! I'm no judge, but I know that you should be cautious when purchasing from an online seller - the judges really look for how the costume and the pieces fit the wearer.
Not sure if you're interested in making your own belt for her, either. There are tonnes of tutorials out there with different methods that I can link you. Personally, I used two strips of Marine Vinyl from Joanns, sewed them together, and topstitched. I got an aluminum sheet from the hardware store and cut out the plates out from a template somewhere on the forum here. Then I used size 45 cover buttons that I also got from Joanns. |

Belts from this seller have required modification for approval in the past- we can never say until we see the item on the person if it should or should not be changed but I would encourage you to look for a belt with a more gradual curve on the upper section instead of the deep "u" seen in the photos and a more refined center plate.
Kay-Dee has a great belt and is a good reference to use when shopping around to give you a rough idea of the shape we are looking for.
