Waistband was very unforgiving. I got this to wear while pregnant and most maxi skirts have a fairly forgiving waist, but this one did not. It was also quite long. Ended up returning it because the fit was wrong and the tie dye pattern was too ugly to 'make it work'. It wasn't a large tie dye print like pictured, it was lots of small blotchy "circles" and I wasn't thrilled.
