Belted A-line midi denim skirt

I have a tiny waist (28) but big hips (40-41) so I need to take an 8 or 10. Bought the 8 because it is A-line yet I cant breath because the waist is so tiny. Normally I always have to have my skirts taken in because I have a tiny waist so this is very strange. Unless I got a mislabeled one, I will need to exchange for a bigger size. Otherwise, the body of the skirt is large. In terms of style- the paper bag is nice and the denim is that 90s ticker denim.

I've had this skirt for about a month and have happily worn it several times. I will say that compared to other JCrew pieces in the same size, I find the waist small. If I wear it to work, I usually end up undoing one or both of the closures (it has an internal hook-and-eye clasp, and a button, in addition to a zipper fly, and a belt...arguably overkill) to give myself some breathing room. I love the style and get compliments on it. It's really nice for fall because the denim has a nice weight to it, and i'm digging the 70s vibe.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Great quality, not too heavy not too light. Could be dress up with boots or sandals. Love it!
