I used this skirt for a Halloween costume and glued a bunch of feathers over it.  It was exactly what I needed.  I liked that the elastic waist didn't dig in (no muffin top).  Two things to note though:  (i) it is a little long; I cut about 8 inches off, but it was really easy to do; and (ii) it is see-thru b/c unlined - I had to get a pair of yellow shorts to wear underneath which I hadn't planned on doing.
