Absolutely lovely skirt. It is lined, with elastic in the back. The weight of it is substantial. The stitching is of great quality and the embroidery as beautiful as the picture. I predict this garment will last me many years for it's quality. Definitely worth the price. I have never been disappointed with the quality of Novica's products but I admit it took me two years to purchase. Luckily for me the skirt kept coming back in the fall catalog and I only regret not making the purchase sooner. I plan to wear over the holidays. I hope more similar skirts will become available in the future.
The pattern and color are exactly as shown on picture. The fabric is soft and light. Very lose fit so you go even go for one size down. There are 2 side pockets that can happen to be too high up for use if you go one side down as I did. Loved it!
