Love this skirt! Im 53 and its the perfect length for my flat sandles. I live in Arizona and breathable material is a must in the summer and this is light & cool yet not see through at all. My body type is an upside down triangle so I have no waist (33) & small hips. The waist is perfect on me but wouldnt suggest maybe over 34 waist. There is PLENTY of room if you have large hips.  Would definitely buy another one.
