I was very skeptical about ordering something from China, because their sizes run really small. I knew that I had to order 4 sizes up to get a size that I knew would fit.  I also knew the material was going to be VERY THIN, which is fine in this case because I live in Florida and if you knew anything about Floridas practically year round beaming Sun...lol! The hem in the skirt at the bottom is questionable (ok stitching). The fit is really good because I sized up. Had I ordered my actual size this would have NOT been a good thing :-( At any rate, the skirt fits like a Midi skirt, which I love . I work in a very professional atmosphere so that works out. The skirt gives a slimming affect. The waist band is made of a wide elastic band, which is okay because I know how to dress it up (hide the band with a really nice blouse that you can wear either tucked in or out). For the most part I really like this skirt.
