Pencil Plaid Skirts
The sharpest and most formal shape in the range. A pencil skirt follows the line of the body from waist to hem, finishing at or just below the knee, with a vent or split at the back so you can walk normally. In a muted sett with a plain top it is entirely conventional office wear. Because there is no flare absorbing error, this is the cut where an accurate hip measurement matters most, so send waist and the fullest hip. The vent or back split is not decorative. Without an adequate one a pencil skirt shortens your stride noticeably, so check the vent length as well as the hem. Because there is no flare absorbing error, this is the least forgiving cut we make and the one where an accurate hip measurement matters most. Send waist and the fullest part of the hip, measured over what you intend to wear underneath.
