My first buy from British Retro. Just got it today and the skirt is fabulous and true to size. Material is very soft and it flows following my body figure. I am petite 157 cm, and I never had a wiggle skirt that is really hugging perfectly to my body with perfect length. I love this skirt so much, really worth the price.

Beautiful skirt – Genuinely beautiful. I fluctuate between an 8 and a 10 so ordered a 10 as this is tight fitting and it fits absolutely perfectly. Lovely quality – Will be ordering more soon!
