I like this skirt. I'm a bit short at 5 ft, so it's length stops right below my knees. I'm not sure how to describe the material. It's not see thru or anything like that, but it does have a weird feel to it. Other than that minor thing, it looks good. I'm about 140 lbs and bought a Medium which seems to fit perfectly. It shows off my curves without being overly tight. It does have a bit of stretch and if it wasn't for the hook closure above the zipper, I may have been able to get away with a small if I wanted it a bit more form-fitting. The closure at the waist left no room for stretching.
