It's terrible to be cute unless you like wearing Christmas lights. Harness

The problem is that the harness is weightless, cannot be tamed, and is 60cm or more shorter on each side. Hence, this beautiful style of dangling in promotional images needs to be Photoshopped, as the bottom half of the wires aren't hanging at all, but are left twisted or oddly shaped that the little knobs on them that somehow keep them tame have no effect. It looks messy like wearing a cheap Christmas garland too tight. With draping below the waist in general and even prettier? No way. When you get a "tether" you see it's not tether, it's these thin hollow tubes, like a phone charger cable, that can't hold any shape except these loops that have thin straws. They have to be seeded or stuffed into a vest to hold their shape, but on their own it's like wearing a cheap string of untamed Christmas lights, as uncomfortable as a bow made of flimsy plastic tubing and as cheap-looking as the stuff from which dollar store. as you know, does not light up. For a long time. If I had seen it in person I would never have bought it, period. I'm thinking of cutting off the crazy tube and leaving the lights on the back with velcro like the belt, but even that belt is awful, the kind of cheap belts you find on kids suits. The last use I could make would be to just put velcro over an existing old belt and place a light where the tubes will come out on their own while it works. Then I'll experiment with two cheap plastic flashlights and see if the batteries can be changed to make it work as a compact flashlight. If I paid $3 to $5 OK, but no way what it advertised as it doesn't even fit the concept as too small, too short and too light or hanging from wrong material and looks good and did I say too cheap? Yes I have, too cheap, okay. It's something you wear for a laugh like a two-beer belt and then take it off because it's uncomfortable and pointless to wear and it's good in the description.
