Estelle Skirt in Lauper

I love this skirt, the print is STUNNING and so is the silhouette. I would have given it five stars except I don't think it is true to size. I am generally a size small in Resa, so I purchased a small but this fits me more like a medium/large. At first I thought I had to tie the tie in a knot or something in order to secure the waist, because it was that huge on me. The material is heavy and therefore it pulls the waist down, so I can't style it in the beautiful side V or front V silhouettes that it has been designed for because the waist and hips are not tight enough. If you are buying this, size down from your normal Resa size unless you want something to look really oversized and baggy. Unfortunately I live in Australia so I will have to get this tailored, so it's a bit disappointing that it is advertised as "true to size" when it definitely is not.
