Size chart is perfectly accurate, and this item fits exactly as expected! That's such a relief, when so many items like this come in Asian sizing and/or are minuscule, and you have to just guess if a product will even fit around one leg! I have a 28" natural waist, 38" at the widest part of my bum, and I'm about 31" at the hipbones where I wear very low rise items like this skirt, and the MEDIUM fits me perfectly! There is no stretch, so make sure you measure, but the sizing listed here is accurate. NOTE: This item is LINGERIE or a costume and is therefore VERY SHORT! You will NOT be able to wear this to work, yall. That's NOT what it's for. It will barely cover your butt. That said, for lingerie purposes, this is really nice! The material is high quality, it's constructed well, and I love the gray tartan pattern. My only complaint is that, on *my* item, the zipper sticks at one certain point, and it can be hard to pull up and down... but whatever, I doubt I'll be using the zipper much! :D I haven't showed this one to my husband yet, but I know he's gonna love it as much as I do. All in all, 100% satisfied with this adorable little skirt!
