I guess that can be a good thing for some people, just not for me.
I decided to purchase a large because I, for one, have a wider set of hips so I knew that I would need to size up just a bit to hopefully get just a little wiggle room.
Unfortunately, with the large it obviously is larger around the waist area, and that part of me happens to be the most petite, so it hovered around my waist in a very awkward looking fashion, looking like it was in dire need of a quick tailoring of a safety pin.
I was really bummed out about this purchase, because I wanted to wear something cute for my new job.
I guess those with the bigger hips and littler waists should stick with a more flared type of skirt...
bummer!
