I love the fabric design -- very stylish, but I didn't expect that this skirt would look so short. The elastic waistband is very secure for my size, though. By the way, I made an exception and ordered S size for this even though I usually order XL and bigger because I saw that its elastic band could cover a broad range of waist sizes and I wanted something mpre secure. My Waist : 86cm, Hips : 98cm, Height 160cm.
