Bought this to wear to a punk show on st. Pattys day. Loved the heaviness of the material. Ended up using velcro which i attached on the ends of the skirt where they overlapped instead of safety pin. It was definitely small. Im 5'7" 125 pounds and where a size 4 in jeans. I ordered a 6. Shoulda got an 8 as i like skirts to sit on my hips. I had someone just move the button out for me. Overall i like it. Had i read more reviews and details i woulda known it ran small.
