"I just got this skirt in the mail today, and love it! For reference, I'm 5'5" and 112 lbs, and I got the size small. Before ordering, I clarified with customer service that the medium at 31 inches at the waist is the drop waist, if that helps anyone. The size small fits absolutely perfectly! The skirt is simple enough to wear with a lot of things, but the flounce is really cute, and adds a little flirty element. Perfect for wearing with my bikini tops! I highly recommend this skirt, and I love Free People!"
