The skirt itself is pretty, though not quite as elegant as it appears in photos when you realize the back has a rouched elastic area and side zipper, which takes away from the polished look a little. There is a light slip sewn in to the skirt and it doesn't appear see through. My issue is with sizing inconsistency. I am 5'6" and 125 pounds. Normally a size 4 and a medium per the size equivalent in the size chart (med=4-6) and ordered a medium (I debated ordering a large with all of the reviews staying to size up!) However this skirt was actually large on me and fell below my natural waist more toward my hips, making it fall farther below the knee. Returns seem costly for the price of the product so I will just have it taken it. Beautiful color and work the cost, but be aware there seems to be some variation in sizing.
