I really wanted to like this skirt, but with my hourglass shape it just didn't work for me. My measurements are 36-28-38, and I ordered a small to wear this high-waisted at my natural waist. It fit comfortably, but the layers of fabric billowed over my hips, making me appear much larger than I am. It was not a flattering fit. The fabric is nice and the color is as pictured, but I was disappointed by the look of the waistband. It is more thickly ruched than expected, which added to the bulky appearance. I thought the waist would be much smoother and fall naturally. I am returning this.
