High Waisted Pencil Skirt - Gold Foil

Designed for the Hourglass Frame

This skirt is engineered—for women with a defined waist and fuller hips.

Cut in our signature high-waisted pencil silhouette, this version is crafted from a black base- layered with a shimmering hologram foil finish that shifts subtly in the light—evoking movement, energy, and modern elegance. The result is a skirt that offers more body and warmth than traditional suiting, while remaining smooth, flexible, and refined.

The contoured 2.5" waistband sits high at the natural waist to gently smooth the lower abdomen and create a clean, elongated line through the torso. The fabric’s density provides added structure and comfort, making this skirt especially suited for cooler months and all-day wear.

FIT & SILHOUETTE

• High-waisted with a 2.5" waistband for smoothing and support

• Designed specifically for hourglass proportions

If your hips and waist measure closer together (straight frame), we recommend our Savvy Sabina Skirt, which is cut straight through the hip.

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF (IMPORTANT)

For the best fit, we strongly recommend measuring yourself before selecting a size.

• Waist: Measure at your natural waist—the narrowest part of your torso, where the waistband will sit.

• Hip: Measure at the fullest part of your hips and seat.

• Length: Measure from the top of your waist straight down to where you want the hem to fall.

Refer to the illustrated measurement guide in the product images and the size chart before ordering.
