As other reviewers have stated this is a juniors skirt and it does run small. I normally wear a size 8, and I ordered the large based upon others reviews. Glad I did because the large fits me just right and my daughter (who wears a 6)can fit this a s well without it "looking too tight". The fit was/is spot on for me and looks great with a pair of heels. Very comfy for wearing all day and although it is a cheaper priced skirt, it looks a lot better in-person than online. I would suggest too to have this dry cleaned in-case of shrinkage. All in all, I am pretty satisfied with this purchase.
