Slim fit versus pencil
A pencil skirt tapers — it is narrower at the hem than at the hip, which is what makes it read formal and what forces the need for a generous vent. A slim fit skirt follows the body closely but keeps roughly the same width from hip to hem. The practical result is that a slim fit moves more easily, sits less severely, and works with flat shoes in a way a true pencil does not. If you have found pencil skirts restrictive, this is the shape to try.
What can and cannot be altered later
Worth knowing before you order a fitted leather garment. The waist can usually be taken in a small amount at the back seam by any alterations shop. The length can be shortened, though on leather the hem must be re-turned and stitched rather than simply folded. The hip is the one that cannot be let out — there is no seam allowance to release in leather, and adding material would show. So if any measurement is worth getting right first time, it is the hip.
Lambskin on a close fit
Soft lambskin follows the body rather than standing away from it, which is what makes a close fit comfortable in a material that has no stretch. It also settles back after sitting instead of holding a crease. The trade-off is that it marks more readily than cowhide.
Care and storage
Dry cloth only. Never machine wash; use a leather specialist rather than an ordinary dry cleaner. Hang by the waistband loops — folding a fitted lambskin skirt over a hanger bar sets a crease across the front that will not lift.
Sizing and made to order
Order by waist measurement and send hip and length with the Custom option — especially the hip, since it is the measurement that cannot be corrected afterwards. Sizes run XS to 5XL plus Custom, and every skirt is cut after your order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between slim fit and pencil?
A pencil skirt tapers toward the hem. A slim fit follows the body but keeps roughly the same width from hip to hem, so it moves more easily.
Which measurement matters most?
The hip — it is the one that cannot be let out later in leather.
Can the skirt be altered afterwards?
The waist can be taken in slightly and the length shortened. The hip cannot be released.
Is it lined?
Yes, which stops the leather sticking to skin or tights.
Does lambskin mark easily?
More than cowhide. Wipe it with a dry cloth after wear and hang it rather than folding.
Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes, at no extra charge. Send waist, hip, and length.
