I bought this skirt in my local store when it first came out. i have to say it is one of my best retailer purchases ever. fits beautifully. works with a tee, tank, denim shirt, and more! i get so many compliments every time i wear it. will be wearing for many summers to come! runs tts. i am 5'10", 155 pounds and the 8 fit perfectly. it is not too short for work, but my legs do need to be tan to wear it.
