itis very beautiful and when I wore it people said it was very beautiful. But when I wear it is very stiff and I understand it is 100% silk but it is very stiff and sometimes uncomfortable when sitting down as it is not smooth like rayon and cotton and in the picture you would think the bottom would be long enough to twirl or go swoosh when moving but it does not. I will still wear it because I waited for this skirt until it came back in stock but I am left a little disconcerted because I expected it to be different than what it was.
