The skirt is very full and wonderfully, wonderfully heavy. It really is a ton of skirt for the price and it's very well made. If you bought this anywhere else, it would be at *least* fifty bucks. If this was currently in style, stores like Banana Republic would charge hundreds of dollars and you'd kind of understand why: it's just gorgeously made.The only issue I have is that I bought this to wear on a regular basis - I didn't want a costume skirt. And was it not for the color (navy blue), I could've pulled that off. Unfortunately it's strangely shiny. If you're aiming to belly dance in this thing, the gauzy material would be totally sexy and mysterious in dim light, but in daylight it looks like the bottom of a fairly classy 80s prom dress - so it's better than what you'd find at a typical prom in the 80s, but it's still something you'd find almost exclusively in the 80s.Definitely a good buy if you're wanting to play dress up, but not something you'd wear casually.
