From the top from side to side is approx 15 inches so I guess that makes it 30 inch waist, it's between 29 and 30.U can wear it on hips or waist. It's a hard one to give up, it's Beautiful but I live on MT Hood and it's not very practical for me.
The lighting isn't very good , it's more of a light golden beige , Beautiful skirt, well worth it.. I paid over 200.00 for it.. good luck and happy bidding
