The skirt was way too big and LONG for me so I took it to a store to have it altered. To be fair, I am VERY petite and short so most things fit me very big. I am 4 '11 and the skirt was a couple of inches from my ankles, kind of at that awkward not-to-the-ankles-but-way-past-the-knees length. The tailor will have to redo the hem since so may inches have to be removed from the bottom, so if you're short, be prepared for that.
What I really like about the material is it holds it color very well even after many washes. I've ordered the black one before and I washed that skirt countless times and it was just as black as the first day I bought it. We'll see how this one holds up! Starting my first job as a RN so wish me luck!
