I was looking for a skirt that would make me feel like a femme fatale from one of those 40's detective novels, and this skirt in basic black is it!

I ordered a large, based on the other reviews, and it is a little loose in the waist. I'm 5'5", 135 lbs & athletic with a thick waist (27") and a bubble butt. The shirring at the waist shapes this skirt visually and makes me look curvier. The fabric is wonderful; stretchy yet supportive. I ordered two more skirts in black and charcoal, a size medium this time so that I can really turn heads on those foggy nights here in the Bay Area. I'm recommending this skirt to all my ladyfriends in the local burlesque scene!
