This is a midi skirt I purchased within the last year. The elastic in the back has torn, and I have repaired it by hand. See the last image. Please purchase only if you understand this. The ribbon at the waist is removable. This beige and black checkered pleated skirt with a ribbon is perfect for a casual style. - Design: Checkered - Waist: Ribbon design - Skirt Shape: Pleated skirt - Color: Beige and black check - Style: Casual Thank you for looking.
