This is a flared skirt from axes femme! The color is navy, just like in the photos. The waist is elasticated. The waistband is made of a thicker fabric and is lace. The skirt part is smooth, and while it might be a bit warm in the peak of summer, I think it's a material that can be worn year-round. Please note that this item is stored at home and has been used.
