Color is lighter like the later pictures. Lighting was bad in the darker pictures. This adorable little mini skirt is excellent for going out because it has a hidden pocket in the back for your ID on the inside of the skirt, +2 back pockets. The measurements in the photo show it snapped where all three snaps lineup, but you can make it a little looser or a little tighter depending on how you snap it. I wore it as a size 2/4. That's the best size because then you can wear it low enough on your hips to keep it from being too short.. see pic for two minor spots that may clean out. I did not try. Something while sitting on the shelf after listing.
