I needed a skirt like this for a costume, so I was just happy to find something that had the basic shape I was looking for. I honestly wasn't expecting anything extraordinary when it came to the quality. I had some questions about fabric, which were answered very quickly and helpfully. When I received the skirt (very quickly, I might add), it surpassed ALL my expectations. The fabric I picked ("black zen") is incredible, stretchy, and opaque with a beautiful heavy weight. (And bonus: it seems to resist picking up cat hair.) The skirt feels durable and extremely well-made -- none of this shoddy hemming you usually find on mass-produced garments. It feels like it will last for years. Plus, the skirt is insanely flattering and dramatic-looking. And comfortable! I'm honestly blown away. $75 is a BARGAIN for this mind-blowing skirt.
