This is a high-waisted long skirt. When standing, the A-line silhouette is beautiful, and it flares out gently when walking. It hits around the midi length on someone 168cm tall. It uses a zipper for putting on and taking off, but the back is elasticated, so it fits waists from 64cm to 70cm. The waist sits above the navel, around the stomach area. It's 100% polyester and can be washed in a net on the delicate cycle in a home washing machine. It was worn a few times and then left hanging in the closet for several years. I think it's in good condition.
