I am short. 5' 3" tall and wear a small. Have found these skirts to be too long for me. I especially liked the dark ones. Here is what I do, I pull the skirt up to the height that I want, then put a thin belt around my waist and fold the skirt back down over it. Then pin it with a safety pin on each side. It stays in place very well and is comfortable. Have also found that the hems on some of the skirts won't lie flat. My reason for giving the three stars. Have found that I can spray the hem area with a fabric sizing and then iron it and then that will work quite well. Used to sew most of my clothes many years ago and so I have learned some "tricks of the trade" as they say.
