Mythical Maxi Skirt in Black Chiffon

I'm 5'3" with a 39" natural waist, and this skirt fit perfectly around the waist. However, it is definitely several inches too long. I do have to pick up fistfulls when I'm walking in order not to step on my own skirt, so this will require tailoring at the hem. I really enjoy the way the skirts feel and the way the fabric flows however, just a little long. The cleaning tag DOES say it recommends Dry Clean Only, but due to limitations in that regard in my area, I risked following internet research advice and threw it in the washing machine with the rest of my laundry (but carefully cushioned so it wasn't on the top or bottom), washed it on Cold, and then I hung-dry the garment. Can't be certain if it was that or the way I hung-dried it, but it did loosen the waist band a little bit, but not noticeably, so I am comfortable doing it again.

Elegant. Lightweight. Dramatic

Adore this skirt. Fits wonderfully and not too tight. It's the perfect length for me (5'7)
