I REALLY wanted to love this skirt. Ive been reading reviews for every style I could find on Amazon and decided I need to bite the bullet and try one. Im 59" about 150 (28" waist but I have a sizable butt for my body shape) so I decided to air on the side of caution and get the large, the waist part was definitely big on me although it stayed up. I probably could have gotten away with the medium. In order to have it be a true "maxi" I had to put it on almost exactly like it appears on the model photo, no fold to the waist and I had to pull it a little further down from my waist than the model has it, then it just barely skimmed the floor. You definitely cant fold the waist if youre tall so keep that in mind ladies! The fabric is quite nice, very soft and flowing but in the end for me the skirt just doesnt work. After modeling it in front of a mirror for about 10 minutes I decided I just couldnt get past the way the clinginess of the fabric seemed to emphasize every dimple and imperfection of my rear. If you have a large booty and are even the slightest bit self conscious about the way it looks then this skirt might not be for you. For those of you that can pull it off, power to you! Also, I ordered the Burgundy and the Caviar and from testing it out in both natural and artificial lighting I dont think either of them would have any of the see-through issues that some other reviews have mentioned so that probably varies by the color you get. Sadly these will be going back but Im going to keep hunting to see if I can find a style with a drape thats a bit more forgiving to my backside. UPDATE: I decided that I liked the skirts too much to give up that easily. Bought a pair of Jockey Skimmies Slipshorts and am now completely satisfied with the way the skirt looks! Will still be sending back to get the right size (medium) for a better fit in the waist and more colors!

Really like this skirt. I ordered the size I normally wear (size L) and it fits perfectly! Absolutely love the color and it keeps me nice and cool on those really hot days. I live how I can dress it up, or dress it down too! I will definitely be ordering more in different colors

I purchased two of these skirts at the same time on the same order. And they are two different brands. One has a sem right down the back of the skirt and the other has a seam on each side. The material on the one with the Azules tag is definitely a lot better than the one with the Olivia K tag...disappointment in the inconsistency.

I received the worst looking maxi Ive ever bought! I got elastic at the top of the skirt and where it folds, it looks like theyou didnt have enough fabric so they sowed on a piece to finish it. Ill attach a picture so yall can see what in talking about.
