I used the sizing chart, and the fit was perfect.  From the picture, the skirt appears to be a shimmery black or almost charcoal color. In the reality, it is a see though material with a white lining which is very noticeable in person. I was disappointed in the obvious color difference. I wasn't able to return it because I didn't have time to go out and purchase something else. Once I settled for it, it was okay.
