Tech. Description

Asymmetric Wrap Front Pencil Skirt

Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a chic pencil skirt featuring a unique asymmetric wrap front and a flattering tailored silhouette.

When To Wear

This versatile pencil skirt is suitable for a range of occasions, offering both style and comfort for:

  • Professional Settings: The tailored pencil silhouette and sophisticated wrap design are perfect for the workplace.
  • Smart Casual Gatherings: Easily dressed up or down for lunches, meetings, or cultural events.
  • Everyday Elegance: Provides a polished look for daily wear without compromising comfort.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a classic pencil skirt, fitted through the hips and tapering gently to the knee.

Waist: Sits at the natural waist with no waistband; the top edge is cleanly finished with interfaced facings.

Front: Features a distinctive asymmetric wrap: the right front panel with a cut-on facing overlaps the left along a diagonal edge and is topstitched in place, opening into a front split at the hem.

Back: Tailored with a center back seam and darts for a sculpted fit.

Closure: Center back zipper.

Length: Designed to fall gracefully to the knee, providing a professional and versatile length.

Hem: Finished with a blind hem for a clean and professional appearance.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires confident sewing skills, including zipper insertion, sewing darts, and clean finishes like waist facings and a blind hem.

Fabric Recommendations

Achieve the best drape and structure with medium-weight woven fabrics that hold their shape:

  • Medium-weight woven fabrics such as tweed, gabardine, suiting wools, or sturdy cotton blends.
  • Fabrics with a slight stretch for added comfort and fit.

Additional Supplies

  • Fusible interfacing for the facings.
  • One zipper for the center back closure.

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
    • Back Skirt – 2 pieces
    • Front Skirt – 2 pieces
    • Back Facing – 2 pieces
    • Front Facing – 1 piece
  • From fusible interfacing:

Sewing Instructions
