This skirt has been on my wishlist for ears. I couldn't bring myself to spend $50 on this skirt. I expected a different material..thinner I suppose. The 100% cotton fabric is soft and thick but actually not too bulky. It doesn't quite cinch up and look as pictured...close. The color is much darker than pictured. The olive in the picture looks somewhat dusty and soft but my skirt in the bag looked almost black. It is very dark, but still olive. The elastic waistband is fairly comfortable but definitely not one size fits all...or even most. I am 5'1 and 115 lbs...bigger hips and it fits good, but I cant imagine it would fit someone bigger than a size 7 or 9 unless they have smaller hips. I am undecided if I am going to keep the skirt... it fits fairly well and feels good on, but the pricetag is still a bit much for an almost... would also depend how it would hold up. Washing instructions indicate not to dry it..not even tumble dry. That could be an issue both for fit and feel of fabric...
