I really love this skirt. I bought it approximately 6 months ago and it has held up pretty well in the wash. Before I purchased it, I read a few reviews that said their skirt(s) had fallen apart. With that in mind, I made sure to wash it alone with other skirts like it and on the gentle cycle and have not had any issues. I also dry it in my dryer on "delicate". I get many compliments when I wear it and I would like to purchase another one soon!
