Too many layers. When my brother saw me he commented that i had looked like i had been deep fried ... in starch. I ended up cut out one bottom layer and trimming the waist so that it would not fluff off so much especially at the waist. I plan to add a belt to the outfit whenever I wear it so that it does fluff off so much at the waist. I like the brown but looks more like a petticoat than a skirt. Truth be told if you are going for a ballerina look then this will a nice skirt for you.
