It is best to read all the reviews before purchasing this or any other clothing items. The skirt arrived packaged as expected and I was pleasantly surprised that the color is as shown. The material is heavenly light and perfect for summer. I am about 5'3" and weigh about 103 to 105 lbs. I have a waist size of 27" and this skirt was comfortable at the waist and falls right at my ankle. I recommend wearing scandals that have a little height as this would help to give clearance when walking. This skirt is double-layered so even if it is a light material, it is not see through so no worries. I would recommend the skirt in the jade/light green from this seller. Be careful as I got a light pink one from a different seller and it was not as I expected. Will write a separate review for that one.
