This one is different. Fits perfect. I usually go up in size for length with this style shirt and it is awesome. I love the shoes but can not locate them anywhere. I can not wait to wear it ... church, weddings/events, etc. Something different for the Holidays ... make a statement with it.

Beautiful item
The picture does not do this skirt any justice. It is a very pretty skirt and fits well. I would recommend purchasing this item.

Peachy skirt looks different, and is huge
I bought this skirt in a size XS. There are two major problems with this skirt. The coloring in real life is vastly different from what you see in this photo online. It looks like there are peach, CREME, gold, and gray stripes. The creme stripes are actually peach and the peach are a darker orange. The coloring on the photo is high contrast/washed out.
Also, the sizing of this skirt falls victim to vanity sizing. I am a 25" waist and 35" hips, I should wear a XS or S. I bought the XS. It's literally falling off of me. There is no way that model in the photo is wearing the XS as is. They must have clipped it in the back to keep it tight around her waist.
The XS would most appropriately fit a 27" waist. (Meaning it's huge for an extra small). And the skirt is cut more billowy than the picture supposes. It doesn't look flattering on petites and I'm not sure it could be tailored easily. If you're on the short side like me, I would consider something else.
Oh Limited, I love it when you offer a-line or fuller skirts that are work appropriate but absolutely loathe that alpha sizing. Numeric sizing is so much better in that it allows for a broader range of fits.
I wear a size 14 so I ordered this skirt in size L and XL. The L was snug and not comfortable but the XL was falling off my hips. I measured the skirts and the XL is a full 4" larger than a L. See what I mean about the downfalls of alpha sizing? With numeric sizing you can get a much better fit. It's likely the aloha sizing is a cost cutting measure which is a shame.
The skirt itself is really pretty though the colors seem more spring than winter. The material is soft and silly; from the online pictures I thought it would be a stiffer twill but it is not.
I'm sad that your new sizing doesn't work for me. Please bring back numeric sizing in all skirts, not just pencils.
