The Lotus Leaf skirt really is a thing of beauty. Yet I would strongly advise more curvy ladies or women who have a more voluptuous body types not to buy this item because odds are good it may not fit you. Likewise the skirt really is suited more to a 24" - 30" waistline vs the 26" - 32" waistline spoken of in the listing. Which is why I taking a few stars away from it.

The skirt fits a little tighter than expected, and I purchased my usual size. When I received the package, the skirt itself was wrapped, but the packaging was worse for wear. I originally purchased it for a cosplay, but was intending to wear it out after a slight modification. However, it is purely a costume piece and I don't suggest wearing it anywhere but to a performance. The skirt of mine ripped with little provocation when I went to sit down. Points for it are that the skirt is perfect for any kind of twirling, the gold is vibrant, the fabric is soft (save for the gold pieces), and the underskirt covers everything that needs to be covered.
