Thanks for the feedback, ladies! Beth, the 'unicorn tears' made me laugh out loud! And great idea on the PSA, Viva Going to edit that now.
Aubergine, you are right! I didn't even notice it. I think it is may be how they pinned it to photograph to get the detailing on the front, because the model looks fine from the side view. I would be curious to know how this fits in real life, though.
I have to admit, if I could get this skirt down to around $20 plus shipping, I would take the hit and try to hand-launder it. Is that crazy? My thinking is, I have a couple of antique Edwardian blouses that must be close to a hundred years old that I occasionally wear, and I can launder those by hand. Yeesh.
