I love this skirt! Beautiful, as described by the seller. I love the unique print.  I am about 5'5 1/2 and I usually wear a 6 to 8,  and weight 132 lbs, I went with a size large because I wanted to make sure the skirt fit. When I pulled it out I was a bit nervous because it looked big, however I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it on.  It is very comfortable. Not too snug at all. There is a side zipper. The skirt is about 6 inches below my knees. There is elastic in the back which helps with the comfort. It doesn't quire flare out like the picture, but the print is beautiful. My daughter was able to tell what it was with in on. Overall I am happy with my purchase.
