as we got the skirt, we tried it for my daughter, she absolutely loved it, felt very comfortable, length was good. it is slightly big in the waist but i do not think it is the manufacturer's fault. The fabric looks very durable, i see her using this skirt for a long time. i also like that there is an underpants and that the skirt is wider at the bottom for an active school child. i am sorry i didn't get this in a navy or chocolate brown.
