I am a very curvy woman, I don't wear pencil skirts because they are always way too tight in my butt, and if I find one that fits my butt it's way too loose in the waist.
This skirt fits similar to a pencil skirt until just below the butt, then it hugs your legs a bit and flares out.  The waist also goes up extremely high, we're talking up past the belly button here.  That combined with the flimsy fabric makes this one of my worst online skirt purchases.  I knew I was taking a risk because of some the the reviews, but thought I would try it anyway because of the price.

I do think it's salvageable though.  I will be taking off a good 5-6 inches between the belt and the flare.  After pining it up this way it becomes a very flattering skirt, I'm just thankful that I'm handy enough to be able to make this change.

One additional comment, the "belt detail" is not a belt, but rather a piece of fabric sewn on with a cheap buckle looking thing on the front.  I was expecting an actual belt that I could take off if I wanted to,  but the buckle part is not bulky, so I will leave that on as well.

Overall, if you look good in pencil skirts, this skirt will look amazing on you, if pencil skirts just make your butt look like a shelf don't buy this skirt.
