The photo is black, but the actual item is a cute mermaid skirt with a calm navy fabric and an off-white floral pattern outlined in beige. It has a side zipper and elastic only in the middle of the back, so it looks very beautiful even when you tuck your top in. The silhouette is also very beautiful, and for some reason, it makes you look a size smaller. It has a smooth texture and doesn't wrinkle easily, so I think it will be very useful. ^_^
