I was pleased that my skirt arrived so soon after I decided upon, and ordered the one I finally chose. I think the overall look is what I want to achieve. The "POODLE" applique is just right. The fabric (felt) has lots of fullness and body; no crinoline is needed. I love the color; it will go great with my RED HAT...Yes, I am a RED HATTER, and we're always wearing "outfits" for one occasion or another.
