This maxi skirt is beautiful; sturdy and well-made.  The colors are as shown; there are some black and deep blue colors in the design.  The yellow is not too bright - but instead is very stylish and bold.  The waist band is elastic and is broad/wide which is good - and it does not roll down as the skirt appears to be made to wear higher on the tummy/waist.  I am 5-5 and wearing it either normal or higher on the waist - it falls just below my ankles meaning I can wear it with flats or heels.  I absolutely love this purchase!
