I ordered a size 6, which is supposed to fit a 28" waist, which is my correct measurement. This is at least 3" too big, maybe more. I wouldn't even know how many sizes to go down (the odd numbered sizes are not even on the size chart?), but it doesn't matter because they're completely sold out now. I don't know why they'd cost themselves sales with such wildly inaccurate size charts. Is it so hard to have an accurate size chart?

Colours not as vibrant as pictured.

let me start with - I'm 5'3"", 113 lbs. with measuring tape, 26 waist 35 hips. I normally buy 25 petite in BR jeans that have at least some stretch and 26 petite if jeans have no stretch/are rigid. I have no booty but depending on the cut can appear to have a little something. This skirt will look great if you have a flat stomach. I bought a 0 petite in the striped tan/blue. It falls nicely, leaving a little space at the waist. the skirt has zero stretch but is light, kind of like a button down shirt. I would only wear with a fitted top, bodysuit or cropped tee. You will need to iron/steam. Can be worn with open toe heels or sandals. It will be a nice addition to your summer look.

Size down if you want to wear at the natural waistline - my regular size sat above the hips. It is a full skirt due to the pleats, as noted by another reviewer, but giving it a good press helps. I may also have them sewn down.

Unbelievably cool! Fits like a glove and the pattern is beautiful.

I purchased the linen plaid(size8), and cotton blue strip(size 10). The waist is identical between the two. The plaid is a light summer weight floaty linen, with visible woven texture. The blue stripe is a smooth very light weight cotton, more like sheets/collard shirt/poplin. I expected the cotton to have a more textured hand feel with a matte finish and visible woven texture based on the photos, but it is a little shiny and very smooth/tight weave-still great, but not what I was expecting and that is why I'm posting this review. Unlike other reviews I think the colors shown in the photos are accurate and exactly what I was expecting. I'm 5'8" and this is a nice long length that hits just above my ankles in a nice spot when worn at my natural/high waist.

Way too expensive to not even have the pattern aligned at the seams. FYI - BR deletes poor reviews.

I love this skirt. It's light and flowy, not too heavy. It can be dressed up or down. I will be wearing this all summer.
