I got this skirt in the white with black stripes. Looks great on - I''m a size 6-8 in clothes, , and the large fits well (i.e. doesn''t give me a muffin top).  I have a straight body shape (i.e. small hips and butt) and I think this bottom gives the allusion that I have more hips because of the horizontal lines,  which for me is a good thing :). Matched well with a simple black halter top, but would also look good with a full coverage top.
