These skirts have a very nice drape to them. I am 5' 3'' and weigh 116 lbs. The small fit me just right. The skirt is an rayon blend and not polyester, but it is very attractive. It has a nice soft silky feel to it. Shorter women can adjust the length easily. I just pull the skirt up to the length that I want and put a thin belt around my waist. Then fold the skirt down over the belt and pin it on either side just below the belt. It stays perfectly in place and is very comfortable. I wanted this skirt longer and so I left it long. I have several of these skirts and just love them.
