The skirt is short in length wise, but very wide in the waist. It has white shorts attached under the skirt that are a bit to short and tight. The skirt itself is thin material. It is very cute looking. I bought a size 5 for my granddaughter who is 42 pounds. It fit her length wise, but was to wide in the waist, but she is on the smaller side. I would only wash it on delicate and hang to dry. It wrinkles after washing.
