I've started to wear the skirt, and it fits perfectly. I also bought a Purple Rain Hiking Kilt in copper. Michigan is finally getting warm enough to wear the skirts on day hikes! Looking forward to wearing one of them on a long backpacking trip in Vermont this summer. They are very well sewn, pockets are thoughtfully designed, and the fabric is easy to sponge clean if I spill (haven't actually washed them yet).
