I purchased one of the fully lined skirts in spring green.  It is not see-through at all, even in bright sunlight. It has a very forgiving, very stretchy elastic waist with additional drawstring. Beautiful crochet and sequin details (although a couple of sequins did fall off, it was not enough to detract from the overall look of the skirt).  The stretchiness of the waistband allows you to easily move the skirt higher or lower on your waist to get the desired length - I'm 5'10", and
