TLDR; XXL fit great, I'm a sz 10 in jeans/30 waist

I ordered this for my family trip to Universal Studios as we dressed up as the characters from Despicable Me. It worked great for my Margo costume. I wore shorts underneath as it didn't have any attached but I preferred it this way bc it 1) makes going to the bathroom easier imo 2) I like to wear my things pretty high waisted and i tired another skort (short & skirt 1 piece) and I didn't like it as much bc I couldn't wear it as high.

The color and pattern was fine. I didn't inspect it too well so I didn't notice any major flaws. It isn't sheer (as I got a darker fabric). It wasn't smelly or itchy out the bag. Sorry I didn't get many photos showing the skirt.

I bought this for a cosplay and have been just actually wearing it because it's cute. I'm a tall and skinny girl (25-ish inch waist, 5'10") so I was worried i might not to able to wear it high waisted but it fit perfectly! Love the length too!

I have had these skirts for three years now.
One of the best pieces I have ever gotten from Amazon! The quality of the fabric isn't mind blowing, but it's thick, and the pleads are crisp.
These skirts have not frayed, do not look cheap, and overall are the perfect length. Not too short, but not too long either.
A stranger walked up to me and complimented my skirt, and gasped when I told her I got it for around 25 dollars. These skirts are the truth.
Only negative: Size exclusive. I used to be a size 10, meaning I got the 2xl. Since losing weight, I got the XL (size 8) in red (not pictured) and the other skirts altered. This brand is NOT plus size friendly, which is incredibly archaic in 2023.
But overall, one of the best Amazon purchases I've made. (More like my Mom made, this is her account). Buy the skirt, you won't regret it.

Ordered this for my daughter in XL in Dark Blue Mixed White to match the Nuotuo Womens British Style High School Uniform Sets for Halloween, because I anticipated the skirt that came with the uniform set to be too small. She absolutely loves it. I'm very grateful for Ace's detailed and thorough review & updates on this skirt. Everything she said is 100% accurate. For reference, my daughter is 5' 8" & 3/4, 155-158 lbs. Chest & shoulders: 41" (104.14 cm). Waist: 30" (76.2 cm). Hips: 41" (104.14 cm). She gives it a 10/10.

CAUTION:

1) With all Asian-sized apparel, never go by Amazon clothing sizes, your normal clothing size number, or even the sizing listed under Product Description (section located right beneath the Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought...). Read The Entire Page to look for Any discrepancy in size listings. If sizing in the Product Description section does not match the size list under the Color Selections exactly word-for-word, click on Every Color to see if the page reloads or size description changes. Even if the store/warehouse is US-based or has Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) guarantee, as long as it's mostly Asian girl models in pics or comments say fit is small, check to see where it is manufactured. If it's not a reputable company like Ann Taylor, J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, Gap, etc, the factories can still have higher-error margins in Western sizing. And that is a big-enough risk with online shopping because it's such a hassle to return stuff and return shipping can cost more than the item itself.

2) Even though most of these sellers declare Asian Sizing, different factories & different brands can still vary. Depending on how big/small or reputable a brand may be, not every factory has tight quality control. Many retail clothing companies use vanity sizing as a marketing technique, even in Asian markets overseas. Use a clothing tape to measure yourself for the most accurate, reliable info. If the size listing is ambiguous in any way, email them directly for clarification if possible. This way, if it's a reputable brand, you'll have a record of their words as evidence. If not, a lack of physical address, phone number, or sometimes a fishy email address, you'll have a more reliable gut feeling. Google their company name/info and even check Ebay (I've seen some sellers on Ebay are the same sellers on Amazon) to check their credibility/reliability from more comments/reviews.

Why she loves it:

1) The 31"-waist-size skirt is true to size. I'm so glad they based the size on numeric-waist-size instead of just S, M, L, XL, XXL, etc. This makes it so much easier for us to choose the correct size instead of guessing based on our Western clothing size charts. Size is just a number; it's the fit that counts.
2) The length is perfect, not too long, not too short. Skirt falls slightly above her midthigh (like the length of Tail-brand tennis skirts) and the back does hike up a little bit due to feminine curves. But it's not cheerleading-skirt-short that she will have to wear shorts beneath the skirt. The 31" waist does give her enough room to slide it a little lower down the waist to make it longer if she wants to do so.
3) Plaid fabric is thin enough, but not see-through at all. There is no need for a lining. Fabric is so good that it is suitable for day-to-day wear, not merely for Halloween or Cosplay.
4) The pleats are pressed and crisp right out of the package. There is enough fabric for the pleats to be crisp and straight. In fact, they are so straight that even the plaid lines match from one pleat to the next. It's quite rare to be able to find reasonably-priced-mass-produced plaid skirts that can match the 80s-90s-era-quality on the market nowadays.
5) The craftsmanship is excellent, with a fully-hidden zipper and straight stitches that lay flat.

Cons:
None.

Very nice fabric, good stitching, and well made.
