Side-slit cotton poplin maxi skirt in stripe

I am 5'6", 180 pounds and curvy shaped. I normally wear 12's and 14's. I bought the skirt in a large. The waist could be a tad bit tighter but then the medium would have been too tight on my hips. I bought the matching crop top. This set is too cute

Bought on sale, and adore it. It’s a classic a-line, thin material (nearly a bit see-thru but I don’t think needs a slip). I found it to be slightly on the large side, so I ordered an XS when I’m generally a small but either would work. Small made the skirt a bit fuller. Fit to your waist size, not necessarily your hips.

If this skirt was 75 percent off it would be worth the money. It's just okay. Nothing special about the fabric (thin and kind of cheap), and with the wider stripes I looked like a walking circus tent. It doesn't show in the photos but it's slit on both sides to about mid thigh, which is totally unnecessary and makes wearing a slip not possible. Its unlined and slightly see-through. True to size. It does have pockets (which show through the fabric) and it would be cool for hot summer days. That being said, anyone with remedial sewing skills could make this themselves at a fraction of the price. Save your money.
