…fabric, combined with the embellished waistband that works to cinch, makes this skirt okay for my body type. Here, the skirt is right off the rack, and it falls on my low waist, which is pretty small because most high waisted skirts fall on my hips. I want it to sit a little higher, so the waist band only needs a bit of adjustment. This skirt is being taken in by my tailor as we speak! So exciting! The bit of extra fabric at my waist. I’m …

… usually buy them in a regular size small. But, for my pants, I almost always try to buy them in petite (size 2 or 4…depending on the day) if available.
