Serrated and strikingly unconventional this skirt will shame all your previous beloved garments back into the dresser. Made from a midweight wool fabric that is supple and utterly un-itchy, it sits perches high on your hips for a more vintage styled waistline. Bestowed with sweeping tiers of well formatted petals, it’s sure to leave the room feeling slightly stunned and a little breathless.

I love working with fabrics that initially seem a bit predictable and sculpting them into something less than expected. This one is sturdy, practical, down-to-earth, blue wool that brings to mind stewardesses and power suits. Fortunately, I came along and rescued from its life of mediocrity. Reminiscent of traditional pencil skirts, the mold was broken by shortening the hem line and adding layers of clean cut petals that tumble down the side. The layers themselves are lightly flounced, and make the skirt more forgiving than the long-established skin tight fit customary in most pencil skirts. Perfect with simple white shirts, cardigans, jackets, and tights, this bladed skirt will give your wardrobe a cutting edge no one will argue with.

Note: Please specify your size preference upon ordering. If the size you want says there will be a wait, that means that it isn't in stock, and will have to be made upon ordering.
