Velvet Slip Skirt

I purchased the skirt in Merlo color size XL . I am usually size 10-12. It fits small. I don't understand why it is regular price $238 the same as on Nordstrom website. But black skirts in Nordstrom Rack are priced at $99. The color is not what I expected. It is rather purple than deep dark red as on the picture. Another problem is the item priced as new was not in original plastic bag. It came on a hanger and it was long enough to leave visible imprints on the fabric. Definitely returning it.
