After reading most of the negative reviews, unfortunately after I had ordered the skirt, concerning the shiny, cheap looking material I was prepared to probably return the skirt. But opening the package I was pleasantly surprised that the material was more of a jersey-ish material, and definitely not shiny and certainly does not look cheap and fits nicely. I ordered the leopard print.  I was not going for a overly tight sexy look, I am 5' 6" 115-120 lbs. and purchased a medium and it fit well. When I wore it out to dinner I was given several compliment by my husband as well as our waitress and my friend. I have wanted a leopard print skirt for sometime and this skirt was perfect for the price and the quality was quiet good as well. I'm not sure if other colors are made with a different kind of shiny material but what I received was exactly what I wanted and am very pleased with the over all quality and look which is very classic and sophisticated.
