It was my mistake. I purchased this as XXL thinking it would fit snug in foreign sizes, but I had to take it in 8inches in the waist! Im buying more colors soon and ordering a M or L. Im 52 and it is way too long for me! I wear in just under my bra and it still sweeps the floor. BUT... I LOVE IT! Beautiful! Flowy! Lovely! Im reordering this skirt in 3 more colors because it is classy, dressy and comfy!
