seersucker skirt: keep or return?

 Anchor Blue tee: purchased in Vegas during 2009 vacation

     While purchasing the two Land's End Canvas tees I reviewed here, this seersucker skirt ($15) caught my eye. It looked cool and comfortable. Unfortunately, the smallest size I could get was a 4, which seems just a bit big on me - I think a 2 would have been just right.
    Pros: 
  • I've been wanting to add some patterned skirts to my closet, and I thought the red stripes were fun for casual warm-weather outfits.
  •   The fabric is lightweight, and the skirt is unlined, but it doesn't appear to be see-through (although I didn't go out into direct sunlight to check). I figure as long as you're not wearing crazily patterned undies, you're good to go (because who wants to wear a slip on a sweltering hot day?)
  •    POCKETS. :)
Cons: I purchased a 4, but I think a size down would have fit me better. It looks a little big, particularly from the side and back. I think it may be possible to slim the sides just a bit.
