I love this skirt! I am very curvy through the rear and was worried this skirt would be too tight but it is wonderful and fabulously comfortable as well. I ended up buying it in 2 colors and I wear them all the time. It does run large, but for me that was a wonderful thing.  At the moment I am about a 16-18 depending on the designer and the XL in this fit me well, and even had a little room so I can was and dry it without worrying about it shrinking too much.
