Smoking Lily linen pleated skirt, size medium fits like a small, vintage look

Beautiful flowing skirt, too small for me! Waist size about 26. Says size medium but fits like a small or extra small in the waist. Hangs just below the knee. Retro look, beautiful blue color. Photos show what I think is an intentional kind of distressed look with some white threads and little pilling. Unlined linen.
