The buttons behind the front panel are functional but you probably wouldn't use them

Waist/top of hip at seam: 17" flat across from side seam to side seam and expanding to 17

Authentic signed gilt metal items designed by Herve van der Straeten

I have styled them so you can see them at their maximum dimensions but of course they sit a touch flatter as you move and wear the piece
