I love,love,love this skirt!!!it's so long&full&flowing,just what I was looking for! I ordered a x large at first,but the waist band was tight. So I returned it and got a xx large,but the waist band was just as tight but the second one  was longer. My conclusion was the waist band fit the same no matter what the size,the difference was in the length. so I had to stretch it out some,now it's fine.
