High-waisted Checked Gaucho Skirt Used about 5 times. Size: M Waist (flat, elastic): 31cm Length: 86cm Hem width (flat): 41cm Pockets: Yes Lining: None Fabric: 95% Polyester 5% Polyurethane Because it's a high-waisted design, the elastic waistband sits higher than the waist (around the area under the bust). The elastic stretches, so it should be fine to wear it at your waist.
