Pencil Skirts for Women: Knee Length, Slim, High Waisted
The pencil skirt is the slim skirt of the 1930s to 1950s: a high waistband, cut straight or slightly tapered towards the hem, knee length or to the calf, usually with a small slit so you can walk comfortably. In the 1940s it was the skirt worn with a blouse at the office, in the 1950s the counterpart to the full petticoat skirt. Our vintage style pencil skirts are newly made by Emmy Design and Weekend Doll, with a size chart on every product page.
The fabrics have body so that the silhouette holds: wool bouclé, herringbone and sturdy cotton, in plain colours such as black, petrol and brown. The pencil skirt is worn high on the waist, with a tucked-in blouse or a short jumper. The selection is deliberately small, but new styles arrive regularly.
More cuts: flared A-line skirts and circle skirts with plenty of swing, with all styles under Vintage Skirts. They go well with pussy bow blouses, puff sleeve blouses and jumpers. And if you would rather try things on, you can visit our shop in Windsbach by appointment.
