I love this skirt. Im 5' 3" 165 lbs and reading the reviews I went a size up and ordered a 2XL just in case it would be way too small (since it is Asian sizes), I saw it and immediately and hit the return button, because it looked huge, and I wasn't wrong. Once I tried it on I had a good 6 inches of fabric to tuck in, and it stretches more than enough to hug your curves. waiting on a size L and a size M to see which one fits best!! the matte sequins give it a good look to opaque a little bit of the shine because once the light hits the fabric it shines like a disco ball so in my opinion it is a good match and it makes the fabric stand out because it isn't your typical super shiny sequin fabric it has a contrast to it, have in mind that you can basically customize how this fabric looks and how much matte you want to show, but if you are not into the matte sequins this might not be for you. The only thing I wish was different is the way the sequins move. they don't move up and down but rather side to side, nothing too bad that will discourage me from wearing it because it is a beautiful skirt!!
