"I Iove the skirt!"
"I wore this to a formal wedding at the Henry Ford Musuem in Dearborn, Michigan. It was an amazing formal maxi skirt that fit perfect and no alterations were needed. I loved the material and was definitely good quality. I would highly recommend this skirt and for the price, you can't beat it."
