I LOVE the skirt! It is so pretty and looks just like the picture. Both the top and and skirt have a hidden side zipper. I sized up because FN models are very short (I believe the model pictured is like 5' 2" or thereabouts), and I'm 5'6". I like it at my curved fingertips at the shortest, so if I size up, it slips down my hips a bit to add length. I did not like the top as much because it's too cropped and the bottom hem is too large, which might have fit better if I got the small set, but then it would have been shorter and more cropped. Just for the skirt alone, it is worth it. It will be a gorgeous summer piece!
