This is my new favorite skirt. It fits great, holds its shape, and is a nice quality. The fabric is almost like wetsuit material with the design embossed on it. It's not just printed fabric, the design is raised so it catches the light; the pattern itself is black on black. The material is also nice and thick so it holds you in without getting stretched out or showing all your lumps and bumps. I have curvy hips with a smaller waist and this skirt fit me really well. It hugged my body but wasn't tight or uncomfortable. It's also long enough that I could comfortably sit without worrying it would ride up and show the world the cellulite on my thighs.
Not gonna lie, $40 is a lot for me to spend on a skirt but I bought this because I really liked the style and I needed something for a trip to Vegas. Now that I've worn it I'm not disappointed. I feel like I'll wear this skirt for years to come and it will be worth every penny. Plus my sister was really jealous and kept telling me how much she loved it, so there's that. : )
I'm 5' 6", 155 lbs, usually wear a size 12. Ordered this skirt in XL. It hit me a few inches above the knee.
