I just gave her my regular measurements. I am , unlike Kina, EXTREMELY pear shpaed. The skirt fits my booty fine, but is a little loose at the top hip... possibly L thought I mismeasured to get the large difference between butt and waist, because she asked me if I was really sure when I read it over the phone to her.

For length, I ordered normally wear 39-40" and ordered 42". I am 5'9". If I were to do this again I might go down to 41". I wish the pie wedges reached higher up on the leg. I had a chance to compare my skirt with one made for a dancer of average height. I think everybody gets the same wedge size; rather than it being proportional to length.

Hope that helps a little. The skirts are beautiful.
