Im 5 foot nothing and my natural waist is about 23-25 inches. I often have a difficult time finding anything high wasted that doesnt fall down or slide off. This fits me well, and falls a little below my knees making it the perfect skirt for work. How ever it is small I could see how others would have somewhat of an issue with sizing. Im also not terribly crazy about the elastic look of the waist band. All in all I do really like this skirt and will be ordering it in other colors to add to my business casual wardrobe.
