Bought one of these in XL for my daughter (who was looking for a short ruffled skirt for work) & we ended up buying 2 more. Beautiful light soft floaty material, drapes perfectly & the shape is gorgeous. Waist is done in a generous wide ruched elastic (like a bandeau) which is super comfortable. We bought a L/XL to fit size 16/18, but then got 2 in ML, & the size between L/XL & ML is very close. Love these!!
