I love this skirt. It was too big for me in the waist and I did not like the way it laid on me.  It actually fit the hips perfectly, with room to move.  I wanted the front panel to fit a little more snug. It is very well made and beautiful. I was going to have it tailored but today I gave it to a co-worker.  I have ordered another one for myself in a smaller size and I hope it fits well.
