I knew I was buying a skirt that is thinner material. Im an incredibly modest person, so I will not wear this skirt in public because it hugs curves. But I needed a lightweight skirt to wear around my property during the heat of Summer. These are just right! They go below the knees, lightweight but not transparent. And perfect for the price. Im 55 and 109lbs. I bought a small and its a bit lose on me. Definitely not too tight.
