This is a surprisingly comfy skirt. The wide waistband and the little bit of elastic at the back make it fit nicely without digging in and without looking frumpy. It's light and airy and lined so you don't need to fight a slip. I don't know how it would behave with tights, the fabric could possibly create a massive static situation, but it's summer so we will have to wait and see. I like it and would buy more colors.
