Based on the reviews about it being a little long, I purchased one size smaller than I normally would due to the length. I'm 4'11 and would have gotten a medium because of my weight - I got a small and because of the stretchy waist band it fit me perfectly in length and (er) width. I'm very happy with it and have received compliments all day long, and many asked if it came in other colors which, happily, it does. I do plan to buy it in other colors. A note about color: it's hard to tell in the pictures because they show the skirts swinging or moving, but there are two vertical panels of color alternating - nothing on the bias. I bought the orange skirt which looks (due to lighting I think) like there might be some green, but it's really a lighter and darker color orange. It's still beautiful, and my children keep asking me to twirl (which I'm happy to oblige).
