About The Black Pencil Skirt.
The Black Pencil Skirt is the one you reach for on a work day. Cotton suiting holds its line without cling, the waistband is curved and darted so it sits where it should, and there are side-seam pockets shaped to lie flat. Because it is cut to your own waist, hip and length, the waistband stops gaping, the hem lands where you want it, and the vent is set for your stride. Pair it with the office-siren top or a crisp white button-up. No standard sizing. No warehouse stock. One skirt, made after you order.
