I'm actually shocked at how much I love this skirt. It fits my waist perfectly, with enough room to breathe when I sit down. My waist is 28" and I bought this in a small/3, which is my normal size. I'm 5'3" and I love the length of this too, I can just about get away with the slit at work - if you're tall the slit would probably fall higher. It's so easy to style and dress up or down. It has also washed and dried fine so far in my washer and dryer. Overall, I'd recommend it and I'm happy I got it.
