This is a GREAT skirt! Looking at the model it looks like it might be see-through but it is not. It is a nice stretch fabric, not silky but not too bulky either! I LOVE MINE! MODEL IS WEARING A SIZE SMALL- ( I am a size 8 and wear a Medium just fine. I am 5'4" tall and it hits me as a perfect midi! It goes great with my black suede ankle boots! MODEL SPECS HEIGHT: 5'10" BUST: 34" WAIST: 25" HIPS: 36" FABRIC CONTENT 86% POLY 13% RAYON 1% SPAN Beautiful lightweight fabric, a nice small amount of stretch. The elastic waist is perfect. It is just a bit snug and then expands well on my waist. No worries about slipping and always hiking up my skirt!
