I ordered this in a 3X, with the understanding that this is a junior size. Normally, I am an 18W. The skirt did "fit" but if you have any type of stomach issue or shapely thighs, you may want to rethink this one. I like the way it makes my butt look, though :) It really curves around that area. But I have to wear my top over it because it is stretchy and does not hold anything in. The bandage style, however, does hide the bumps and lumps. I also wish it were about an inch longer to hide my knees! Not really for this plus size gal, but it is a cute skirt anyway.
