I was super nervous that this wouldn't fit but it did! Im a big girl with wide hips but my waist is tiny(32"). I ordered the 34" size and it just barely fits. I weigh 200 lbs and normall wear a size 15 in pants. Keep in mind when buying that this skirt is VERY short if you're curvy. It barely comes below my butt. Still think it's super cute and it will serve it's purpose for my cosplay :)
