A full and swingy denim skirt from Sassoon featuring two open side pockets, pleating around the waist, and a zipper and two buttons in the back.  The original label and care instructions are affixed inside the skirt and the stated size is a "12" (please see the exact measurements below).  The exact measurements of the skirt in inches are as follows:

• Waist:  30"
• Hips:  50"
• Skirt Length:  33"

Will This Skirt Fit Me?

Apart from the stated size on the label, we take the following steps to determine a skirt's measurements:

1. Waist:  We measure across the waist and then double the number.  For example, if the measurement across the waist is 15", we double it to get a 30" measurement.
2. Hips:  We measure down from the waist 8", and from there, measure across the width of the skirt and then double the number.
3. Length:  We measure from the top of the waist to the bottom of the hem along the side.  

Measuring for Your Size

Using a flexible tape measure, take the following two measurements:

1. Waist:  Loosely measure around your body at your natural waistline (Tip:  Bend to the side, and the crease is your natural waistline, usually 2" above the belly button).  Note the number in inches.
2. Hips:  Measure around the widest point of your hips and rear, usually 8" below the natural waistline.  Note the number in inches.
