The material was thin and not soft. It was really pretty when I initially looked at it, but its not fitted- it wraps like a robe. The burnout part really didn't feel like velvet either. Until I actually looked at the name on the UO site after looking at this post did i realize it was supposed to be burnout.
The white one was pretty. It was really the only one I considered, because it would look great over jeans. It was pretty see through though.
This is #3 is gray on me. I like it lots for the price, but personally wasn't willing to spend $48 on a cotton skirt. I ended up getting the Anthro skirt in this week's TS for $19.95 and it's made of a better material (lyocell). However, the Urban skirt is fuller and heftier then the Anthro one.
