I hope I can save others from making the same mistake I did by posting this review asap. The skirt is GORGEOUS in my humble opinion. The colour is a little darker than the image on my laptop, while the skirt appears shorter in length than the 18 inches advertised. The "chunky knit" is far thinner than I anticipated, which has the potential to make it even prettier than I expected. HOWEVER, before even seeing it had gone on sale (I paid full price 2 days ago), the skirt was ready to ship back (despite the loss of approximately $55 import fees on top of the original price).Why? (1) It has no elastic.I was shocked by this. What's suppose to hold it up?I tried it on & jumped up in the air 3x and it started to slip. For this reason alone, it has to go back.I WANTED TO KEEP IT SO BADLY AS IT IS LOVELY.(2) It will likely be very itchy on bare legs. (3) It arrived with a pull in the wool. Conclusion: Be careful wearing it; it's not durable. If you love it, maybe get an elastic put in.
