I was so pleasantly surprised when trying this on in-store with how flattering it is. I was deciding between this skirt and a nap dress - ultimately I went with the nap dress. I couldn't stop thinking about the skirt BUT when going back to order it online, this particular pattern was sold out. I regretted not purchasing when I had a chance. Almost 9 months later when it was brought back, I couldn't check out fast enough! Do not make the same mistake I did - scoop it up asap!
