If you like the gypsy/boho/hippie type look, this skirt is perfect! I bought this for belly dancing, and to also use as a summer maxi skirt. It's extremely comfortable, flowy and lightweight. The waist is elasticized, so it fits my 30" waist, or 36" hips without pinching or digging into me. I am 5'5", and it only shows the tops of my bare feet.  I also like the fact that it has its own short slip underneath, so it won't be see -through when wearing this white skirt out in the sun.  And it doesn't make me look bulky or have bigger hips than I do.  The only negative I have is that it's pretty wrinkled from shipping, but I'll just run my steamer over it and it'll be fine.  Overall, I LOVE it!
