I spent a month looking at this skirt before I bought it. I'm bigger than a size 12, so I worried that it might be too small. I worried that the fabric would be too thin, but I loved the look. It arrived and it is truly lovely. There are two layers, so though the silk is light, it hangs nicely and is not revealing. It fits a size 14-16 fine. it is soft and swirly, and I love how it moves when I walk. The colours I got were different from the picture, I would have liked the fuscia and red, but mine is more golds and olive. I assume the colours are luck0-of-the-draw.
