The skirt is lavender but obviously it looks different in the pictures from one picture to another. But it is lavender but it's a soft lavender leaning towards a bluish lavender. It's a drawstring waist with elasticized back and I showed a picture of how small I feel it should go, with as wide as I think it should go. It will go smaller it will go bigger but not by much either way. The skirt is in excellent condition and very boho and has ***pockets!
