Finally a skirt for the average American girl. Plenty of room for growth so I could have gone down a size when ordering for my daughter. The material is light and bright. The tiered design wears nicely. However the underside is another matter, yes there is a short skirt liner. Under the liner the long loose threads could easily snag and pull apart causing loss of sequins, so I had to add stictching to secure the long threads. Time and multiple washings will tell if this skirt is worth the price.
