This skirt is lightweight but not see through.  The material feels a little like jersey knit. I followed the size chart and while the measurements were accurate the waist has so much stretch in it it felt loose. I ordered the next size down and plan to keep it but if I order any other colors I may order 2 sizes down to get more of a cinching feeling/look. The two sizes I tried,  2x and xl, have about 5 inches of stretch in the waist band (my waist is 33 inches). I first ordered the mint. I wasn't sure about the color because it looked very different depending on the device on which it was viewed. I would describe it as a deep mint. It was a very pretty color but a little darker than I wanted so when I reordered I got the light pink. It is exactly what I expect light pink to look like. This can be worn casual or dressed up a little. I plan to wear it to my daughter's baptism.
