This item was made in a different shade of purple to our usual metallic, as a sample
The dark purple is way richer in person than the photos suggested, and the buckle hardware feels solid when I cinch it tight. The B-grade loose stitching is there on one seam but it's hidden under the waistband anyway, so for the price I'm genuinely impressed.
The B-grade scuffs are barely noticeable unless you're looking super close, so this feels like a steal for the price. The dark purple is rich and non-shiny, and the buckle sits snug without digging in, even through a full workday.
The matte finish on this purple girdle hides scuffs way better than I expected, and the buckle sits flat enough to not dig in under jeans. For a B-grade clearance piece, the stitching I checked is holding up fine after three wears.
