I fell in love with this skirt and bought it pre-owned online. My waist is 33" which is not a Medium but I hoped. I give up thinking I'm going to lose weight so someone else can be beautiful in it. The width of the waist (unstretched since there is elastic in the back) is 42 inches. The length is 33 inches. The skirt is a full two layers. The inner layer is the floral print. The outer layer is solid at the top and the bottom is Sequin accented atop the print. You can see the print from the underlayer. So pretty. The fabric is a translucent rayon.
