This skirt is a fantastic length of you are tall! For reference Im around 510, mostly legs, weigh 200 pounds and carry my weight in my tummy.
  With the waist band folded down it hit the top of my ankles. With it completely unfolded it went from my belly button down to my feet. (If you are short the band can easily be folded down for a shorter length)
  The material is a somewhat shiny almost swimsuit like material. I typically prefer the look of cotton but this skirts length is so hard to find I can handle the material lol
  I wore this around Disney and I never found it hot or uncomfortable. It fit well, didn't stretch out during the day and was very comfortable.
  I ordered a size xl and I found it to be a perfect fit.  I look forward to purchasing more in the future.
