Absolutely lovely skirt. It is lined, with elastic in the back. The weight of it is substantial. The stitching is of great quality and the embroidery as beautiful as the picture. I predict this garment will last me many years for it's quality. Definitely worth the price. I have never been disappointed with the quality of Novica's products but I admit it took me two years to purchase. Luckily for me the skirt kept coming back in the fall catalog and I only regret not making the purchase sooner. I plan to wear over the holidays. I hope more similar skirts will become available in the future.
When I took it out of the package I thought it would be too small but the fit is perfect. Lots of summer maxi's I feel are not really suited to every day wear but this one will be great for running to the store or even to work on a summer day. I think the batik is lovely. I really like the neckline. Length is perfect -- not too long so its dragging. Really a lovely, functional, piece of art.
I was so happy when I opened this package and saw the quality of the work and the quality of the fabric. I feel it is wearable art! I absolutely love it
I am 5'7" now ;I have shrunk at 80 and I weigh 161. I have the typical after menopause body; more weight below bust to hips. Not curvy anymore . I usually wear a size 12 or 14 and I bought the large. It is very roomy, but not baggy. it still would have fit if I bought the M , But I like this a bit oversized. I am pretty cute in this for an old lady!
