This is a Ralph Lauren skirt. It hasn't been worn often, but there is some slight wear and tear. You need to unbuckle the buckle when putting it on. There is no elastic in the waist. It has a lining. I hope those who understand that this is a used item will consider purchasing it. No returns or exchanges, please. #RalphLaurenGirl #RalphLaurenSkirt Thank you for looking.
