I have this brand skirt in solid colors with a slightly different style having a yoke above the pleats. I ordered this skirt in the same size and it is perfect sizing just like the other style. The waist measurement is exactly as listed, the pleats are sell defined and keep their shape extremely well. This skirt is 16" long which is one inch longer than the yoke style which actually makes it a perfect length. Unlike the yoke style, this style puffs out just enough  that the extra inch of material keeps it from being too short or indecent. The material is excellent, not too heavy which is great for spring and summer but still thick enough to not be see through. The price is very reasonable and the color selection is to die for. I already ordered the green!
