I was drawn to this skirt because of its length and the odd warm-ish blue color of it. The color is just what I expected, and is a bit darker than pictured. Another reviewer has said of the Charlotte Skirt that it is the perfect skirt. I agree because of the drape, thickness and weight of the fabric and its pockets. I see this becoming a go-to skirt. I heeded the sizing recommendation and sized down and it fit well. It is a bit snug, but I have also gained some pandemic pounds, which are slowly being cast aside.
