Great styling, not so great fit
The main issue I had with the skirt was the fit. Apparently, my hips/butt are not large enough for the cut, causing a some fabric to stick out on either side of the skirt. The length was right above my knees (I'm 5'6) and it fit well at the waist. Luckily, the problem should be easily fixed with a sewing machine. I took this skirt to India and it worked wonderfully for what I wanted it for. It was modest enough to not draw attention, but cute enough to not be frumpy.
Odd Fit
Well- made skirt but the side seam inexplicably bunches up. The skirt was true to size but the puffy bunching on the side was so odd I had to return it.
