fit just how I expected (and like the model). The Claire pleated skirts are low waisted so if you are looking to wear them high on your waist, size down. I usually wear a 11 in fashion nova jeans and a size xl in their skirts if their high waisted as I have a bigger mid section (belly). the large fit great with still a bit of room. waist is also slightly stretchy. the print is like cargo material. the skirt comes with white shorts underneath. skirt is very mini so ass is out!
