Skirts

Few clothes can be adorned for occasions of all kinds. They could be too long or too short, high waisted, above or below the knee, blue or black. More than their attributes, it is the fact that few styles of clothing can be multi-purpose and multi-utilitarian. Skirts came as a much needed solution for women who wanted to look fashionable and well turned out at all times.  Skirts came to be accepted as an elegant form of clothing for many occasions – long pencil skirts as a part of the formal attire, high waist pencil skirts for boardroom meetings and luncheons, long pencil skirts for the perfect party wear, mini skirts for the chic look, leather skirts for the luscious feel, faux leather skirts for the feel and comfort, denim skirts for the relaxed look, maxi skirts, midi skirts and everything in the middle including colors like red, white, black and navy blue. With the advent of size zero, the pencil skirt became the favorite option to flaunt that flattest of abdomens and the barely there rise of the hips. Pencil skirts and pencil dresses were the perfect attire for day or evening wear. A long high waisted pencil skirt worn with a lacy blouse turned heads at the opera and a short leather pencil skirt was perfect for the dinner date. Denim pencil skirts are perfect for shopping at the supermarket or pottering around the house with children and pets. A long denim skirt can be worn with a short top in white for a summer evening walk, while a black faux leather pencil skirt is ideal for a moonlit walk a long the beach. Pencil skirts are easily available at many stores but it takes the right cut and length to flatter different body types- petite, plus-sized, large –boned or maternal. The best pencil skirt patterns are the ones that allow women to breathe and sit comfortably without the usual short skirt wardrobe malfunctions that occur when women don extremely tight pencil skirts and pencil dresses.
