Love this skirt. I am a size 8, 5'4", 143 pounds, athletic build.  I ordered a large and it gave me a little more room to be able to wear to work.  I specifically did not want the body hugging skirt.  The brown is a beautiful chocolate brown.  I found the fabric to be think and not see through.  I prefer the longer length below my knees for work.  Hoping that there are more color selections for the large soon, as I am planning on ordering more.
