This skirt is WONDERFUL!  I am so glad I read the reviews about sizing.  In Mountain Hardware clothing, I wear a size 6; a size 4 in Columbia.  I am 5'4" 125-130 pounds, and a size 2 in this skirt was perfect.  It sits just below my belly button and hits just below my knees.  It is extremely flattering and functional.  I bought two colors: the slate (which is a pretty gray/blue) and the charcoal.  Both are lovely!  I am considering getting another!
