Do not buy purple unless the color you really want is violet! The skirt I ordered in purple exactly matched the skirt listed as violet. Otherwise it is a very nice skirt. Very soft and fits according to the measurements they provide. I ordered a large despite normally wearing a 6 because I wanted it to sit on my hips instead of my waist and it did perfectly. Very comfy. Wish they made it in the color they claimed. Will be returning immediately.
