This is a very beautiful skirt! It fits well except that it is a bit too long for me, I am 5'3 and drags the ground unless I roll it once or twice at the top. It flows quite nicely and I have gotten many compliments on it. I typically wear a 10-12 in jeans, I purchased this in medium and it is a perfect fit! It does contain ALOT of extra dye, it will bleed for the first 3 or 4 washings at least. I would recommend washing it with an extra rinse before wearing it the first time, the dye smell and the stiffness was completely gone after the first wash for me.
