How does the sizing run?

Small. The listing states Asian sizes are 1 to 2 sizes smaller than European and US sizes, so size up, and go up again if you fall between two sizes. Measure your waist and hips against a size chart before ordering.

Is the denim stretchy?

No. It is non-stretch cotton denim, so the waistband has no give. If you are between sizes or prefer a relaxed fit, take the larger size.

What is the difference between the light blue and dark blue?

They are the same skirt in two washes. Light blue reads more casual and summery; dark blue hides marks better and works into fall outfits.

How short is the mini length?

It is a short skirt, so it sits well above the knee. The A-line flare keeps it from riding up as much as a tight pencil mini, but check the length measurement if you are tall.

What pockets does it have?

Cargo-style patch pockets on the front. They are functional and give the skirt its utility look, but they add bulk at the hip, which matters if you want a clean silhouette.
