The fabric has a nice weight and has extra fabric sewn into the bottom hem. The asymmetric pleating around the high waist gives interest. There is a short slip underneath, not long enough to sit on. The skirt is high waisted and flattering. One odd thing is there is some sort of slit/opening in the back that isn't stitched down—a strong wind could expose the wearer from the back. I will figure out a way to hold this closed better. I'll make the color work because the styling and fabric quality is so great, I think the tan color is definitely in the baby poop category. Overall I recommend!
