Absolute best maxi skirt out there. Im 54, wear size 16 pants. Im petite and curvy/plus size. I purchased these skirts in 2X and 1X. The 2X fits great and is just a little bit looser so my thighs aren't defined. The 1X fits good but I can see that my thighs are a bit defined. Both sizes fit great. I got different sizes because a color I really wanted wasn't in 2X so I got it in 1X and Im glad I took the chance. When I don't fold the waistband, the top of the skirt can be pulled up to under my breasts and it still drags on the ground. (I pulled it over my chest like a dress and it went to my ankles, but I personally will never wear this as a dress). Im short so I fold the waist band, and just pull it up so Im not stepping on it. I don't mind the long length because its easy to make it shorter. Ive had no issues with this sliding down while wearing. The material is so soft, slinky and flowy. I have already washed (regular cotton cycle) and dried mine (Med/high temp), with no wrinkling or shrinkage. I love these skirts so much because they are perfect for someone curvy and plus size, like myself. Highly recommend.
