This skirt was gorgeous, however everyone in the comments said to size up and I did, which I regret. I got the Large and Im normally a medium (6) in bottoms and it was far too large. There was at least 2-2.5 inches of extra room. When i went back to reorder it the medium was sold out. So I highly recommend this skirt but I would recommend ordering your usual size. For reference I am a 6 in Express jeans, a 27/28 in forever 21, a 6 in old navy pants, and a 6 in lucky brand jeans.
