I bought this skirt for my teenage daughter. She is usually a size adult S. I measured her and compared her measurement to the size chart. WELL, I ordered a L according to the chart and the skirt was HUGE!!! Thank goodness I can do basic sewing!! I had to take it in at the seam about 3 inches!!!!!  I don't know what is with the size chart.....just wanted you to be aware of what our experience was with it!  The skirt and fabric were full and "flowy". It served the purpose and the price was right. Just frustrated!!!
