I bought this at first sight, but I treasured it so much that I never wore it and kept it in storage. Since I have a dress with the same pattern, I'd like to pass the skirt on to someone who will appreciate it. It's a very lovely item, so I don't think you'll see it on many other people. I've forgotten the purchase price, but I believe it was quite expensive. The waist is fully elastic. The skirt length is 84cm. Also, it uses a considerable amount of fabric, creating a very beautiful flare. Excellent! There is no lining.
