I was hoping it would be more of a spandex that looks like denim, but it's just stretchy denim. It's ok. The problem is the dye. It started coming off on my fingers the moment I removed the skirt from the box. I hand washed it, and the water was totally black from the ink. I washed and rinsed several times, and there was still a lot of ink that came out during the rinse. I air dried it, and I will try machine washing it next, to see if all the excess ink will come out. I don't want to walk around with my thighs dyed blue.
