I was really excited to try this skirt and stepped out of my comfort zone by ordering the red. The colour is beautiful online, but in person it looks faded, almost sun-bleached or like it's been washed too many times. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I expected, so I'll be returning it. That said, the petite length worked really well. At 5'4½", long skirts in petite sit much better on me, and I would definitely order petite again in the future.
