i love this skirt! my measurements are: hips: 40 inches waist: 28-30 inches Im 5'8 and a UK 12, I got an xl for reference. This skirt is slightly longer compared to a lot of the other skirts on this sight which is a blessing for thick and tall girls like me, I dont feel scared about flashing anyone because its a great length. The material is also so good, its not flimsy or thin, so the wind wont blow it up either. The zip feature is also ideal for getting your desired fit on the waist, and THERE ARE NO UNDERSHORTS which is amazing because I hate undershorts, they're so restricting. I couldn't recommend this enough!
