And was a bit conflicted about what size I should order based on some of the reviews but decided to go ahead and order my usual size which is extra large, as I'm a size 16 because I've put on some winter weight. The waistband is just a little snug and I do have to fold it over so that the length is okay I'm 5 5. I'm glad I didn't purchase a gray shirt to go with this because the picture looks like there's gray in the skirt but it's actually red black and white which is fine--- beautiful skirt I'm very pleased.
