What an awesome skirt! The fabric is great quality and has a nice weight to it. I love the finished waistline with belt loops and zipper + button closure. You can opt to wear your own sash or belt rather than the included rope sash. I also love the buttons along the bottom so you have the option of wearing it as an open skirt or more like harem pants. I'm 5'3 and have a 28" waist and the SMALL fit perfectly. It sits a couple inches below my belly button. The length hits me about an inch above my ankles, perfect! Keep this in mind if you are taller as the length will not look like the photos on you. I can't wait to wear this skirt on my trip to Morocco! It's so roomy and flowy that I may even wear leggings underneath on cooler days.
