Pro: The print is super gorgeous, just as saturated as the pic. Stained glass under water.

Con: Per the size chart, I need something in the 1X-3X range (waist 34, hips 43.5). Not my "usual" alphanumeric size, but whatever, those are never consistent. I like my knee-length skirts to fit pretty easy rather than tight, which usually means going up a size. I ordered a 3X. Mistake. 1X is probably ample for me, I swim in the 3X.

ETA: HOLD THE PHONE, not sure what happened: checked my order, I ordered the 1X and my skirt is labeled 3X. Did they send me the wrong skirt? Or are they doing the thing where they assume you ignored the size chart and Asian sizes are smaller so they send you what they figure is an equivalent US size? Argh. I'm way past returning this and I'm irritated.

Also worth noting: Many knit pencil skirts are cut straight and narrow, stretching over the wearer's hips to form the tight-at-the-knee pencil shape. This is not like that. It is cut curvy, and if you do not have the full hips and smaller waist it's designed for, it will fit oddly. Not a con, just something to be aware of.

The construction is fine. The fabric is okay, it's medium-weight smooth polyester knit with a slight sheen; baby it and it will look fine, treat it rough and it will look cheap fast.
