Designed for the Hourglass Frame

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

Cut for an hourglass silhouette, this high-waisted pencil skirt is crafted from quality lightweight stretch suiting that smooths and supports while maintaining a breathable feel and a clean, tailored finish. The contoured waistband sits high at the natural waist, measuring 2.5" in height, creating a clean elongated line through the torso.

Designed for long workdays, our exceptional lightweight suiting maintains structure without heaviness—making this skirt an ideal foundation for tailored sets and capsule wardrobes.

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

LENGTH

Petite — 22"
Classic — 25"
Long — 27"

Our pencil skirts are designed to finish at or just below the knee, depending on your height and preferred proportion.

Each skirt is cut to your selected finished length before shipping.

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.
