First, if you are larger than a womens US size 6, this is not the skirt for you. That said, this is a nice skirt made of a sateen fabric with satin lining. There is NO stretch to the fabric. The front half of the skirt has a flat waistband, and the back half of the skirt has elastic. There is an 8" zipper on the right side (backwards, but whatever). At full stretch of the elastic, I zipped it up... barely. I'm really sucking it in, though. I wear a size 8 pant. But... I'm on a diet, so I think I'll hang on to it. If I can lose one inch on my middle, it will fit :) Pretty sure this item is made overseas, and not for 5'9", 155 lb women. This is to be expected - and giving this skirt a lower score because you can't fit into it really isn't the sellers fault.
The colors are bright (I got the flamingo print). The blue sky of the flamingo print is much more of a baby blue or powder blue than the light grey-blue/ cadet blue in the picture. Birds are same vibrant pink and lavender, though.
Skirt is about 1" past the knee, so a nice moderate length.
Prepare to steam this skirt when it arrives, or toss in the dryer with some wet towels... cuz it's gonna be wrinkled.
Again - This skirt is for size 6 and under. If you are larger than that, you're going to be disappinted.

bluest blue but probably not authorized & typo

This skirt is definitely the "bluest blue" aka TARDIS blue.There's also a typo. PUBUC instead of Public, I guess it could be worseIt has an elastic along the back & a long zipper. I'm 5-3 & a small/medium. It's the right length on me & there's plenty of "room to grow" in the waist It would probably fit a medium/large who wasn't over average height. I've had medium skirts without as much room in the waist. The elastic means it doesn't hang off either it fits comfortably.The long zipper is nice for us pear shaped ladies.It is lined to the about midway down the thigh.It's a cute skirt. I especially like how some TARDISes have lights on & some have their lights off.However, and this could be a big however. I don't think it was authorized for sale in the US (no care tags as required) nor authorized by the copyright owners since it would have care tags & and a sakes tag. Who are strict on copyright/trademark enforcement. So I wouldn't count on it being available forever.I was thinking of buying another design from them but the lack of care tags means I probably won't because I'm not sure how the dyes/seams will last. It could also shrink the first time it gets washed.

Fits good, color is off tint, AMAZING DETAIL
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2018
This skirt has a beautiful pattern that is amazingly detailed and goes all the way around the hem (I have ordered others that don't go all the way around the skirt and the outcome was very tacky) the zipper is very delicate and it does NOT have hook and eye clasps to help with zipping and unzipping. It fits as expected around the midwaist and goes to about 1/2 inch above the knee.the material for the body of the skirt is thin, but not sheer and very breathable. It is not true black, but a dusty kind of grey/blue/black so I thought it better to pair with white or color instead of my lovecrafrian goth Vision :( the Skirt does not flare at the waist much but it does have plenty of room for a petticoat to add some poof. Overall I am pleased with this purchase. Now if only I can teach my siblings to take more flattering pictures .

This skirt is so pretty and unique, and I got so many compliments. (starry night pattern) The fabric is silky and the pleats looked nice once I ironed them. (I laid a towel between the iron and the skirt to be safe.) I would give it 5 stars if it had a zipper, and they offered other sizes. It has no zipper, so I had to pull it on over my head. It was a tight squeeze to get it on, but then fit perfect on my waist once I got it on. The slip lining is also an odd size but doesn't get in the way too much. My waist is about 32" where I wear skirts like this and this fits, with not much extra room.
