New York and Co Black and White Skirt is size 8. The shell and the lining are 100% polyester so has the slinky feel, very feminine! Can be machine washed, I hung to dry. Skirt has a back zipper and a small bustle near the bottom. It has an A line style but flaired at the bottom for a saucy step! :) The pictures cannot do this justice due to the little bustle and saucy swish of the skirt. The waist is approximately 31 inches, no elastic, and about a 30 inch length. Gently used. Career to evening wear. I used to get MANY compliments when I wore this.
