I tried the JCP skirts but they were too short and thin for me - but might work for those who are looking for shorter, lightweight skirts. <a href="http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&#038;ItemID=1cdd931&#038;deptid=70656&#038;SO=0&#038;Ne=23+8+3+1031+1545&#038;NOffset=0&#038;catid=86297&#038;N=4294926013&#038;Nao=0&#038;PSO=0&#038;bcCat=4&#038;CmCatId=EXTERNAL" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.....d=EXTERNAL</a>|86297</p> <p>I know it says 22" on JCP website but it definitely was shorter than the Halogen seamed skirt on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-550114 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:33:24 +0000 Kate 550114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Halogen is offering the seamed pencil skirt in a couple of new colors—Green Amazon is particularly fab. I wish they'd offer it in white; that I could really use. The non-seamed Halogen pencil is a nice weight, but too short for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-550016 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 03:18:31 +0000 Anonymous 550016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are not the same skirts as the seamed version. I think they have had these at this length before because I got mixed up before. If so, these are a thinner woven fabric. I'm only 5'3" and a 21" skirt will hit me two inches above the knee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-550014 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 03:15:44 +0000 Beth Ann 550014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you, Rae! I tried this on at Nordie's last Christmas. What a wonderful fabric! What terrific workmanship! What a hideous fit on me! I felt like Goldilocks in a house with two beds! One two small.....One too large. Ah well, I can still enjoy the looks of them on other YLFers! FWIW I preferred the longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-550011 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 03:12:30 +0000 Isis 550011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The regular IS shorter than the hallowed seamed skirt, but, according to the specs, this new skirt is just an inch shorter than the seamed skirt.....(21 vs 22 inches) I think this model is really tall!</p> <p>And the petite is actually the same length as the seamed skirt!</p> <p>So worth a try! </p> <p>I like the pockets on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549862 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:34:58 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 549862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Ornella - I couldn't wear the previous version because it was too short, and now they're shorter still? You can always get something hemmed, you can't add length... </p> <p>I agree that a shorter length can be really cute for summer with bare legs and sandals if you have the legs for it, but it's a more casual look and the skirt is IMO therefore less versatile than a slightly longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549825 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:48:42 +0000 Sylvie 549825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lone dissenter here who is glad these skirts are shorter/more of a summer weight fabric than the seamed pencil skirts.</p> <p>The seamed pencils were too long on me, too warm for warm weather and made me feel constrained/unable to walk.</p> <p>The summery fabric/shorter length may just be what I need to get a pencil skirt to work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549726 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:06:17 +0000 Ornella 549726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was abut to say I hope they'll start making them in 27" length so I too can finally order them!</p> <p>Why on Earth did they chop some inches off?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549701 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:44:08 +0000 Meredith1953 549701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why must everything always be shorter! I see so many skirts and dresses I won't even consider because of their shorter lengths! Wahhhh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549607 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:20:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 549607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm actually having trouble finding the perfect midi length (like my black pencil midi skirt) - I'm find everything is either too short or way too long (almost to my ankle). Very frustrating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549604 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:18:46 +0000 Diana 549604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boo that they made them shorter. Here's my dilemma - I tried on a regular one a while ago and it didn't work for me because I think the top part was too long (hard to explain, but it ended up with extra fabric around my stomach which made me look like I had a pooch) but I liked the length. I think I need a petite, but didn't want it to be shorter so I didn't bother reordering. And now they will all definitely be too short for me. Boo. (I do like short skirts, but not for a pencil, plus I have long thighs so the old regular length was perfect just-above-knee-length on me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549601 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:15:32 +0000 rae 549601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still sad that the seamed pencils didn't work for me. *tears* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549589 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:08:45 +0000 DonnaF 549589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not the seamed pencil skirt -- so I wonder how it fits? Was so annoyed that the regular pencil skirt went on sale in gray -- but not available in petite or only available in two sizes. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549584 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:05:32 +0000 JennyAnne 549584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty! I agree they look a little short now. Would be a problem for workwear. I love the bright colors, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549580 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:03:46 +0000 Sunita 549580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am realy annoyed at Halogen! I bought a couple skirts online and they arrived yesterday.</p> <p>The Baily stripe skirt in 6P fit well but was way too short. No regular sizes online (why not?!)</p> <p>The seamed pencil skirt in 2 regular was a bit loose and way too long. But the only petite option was black. Again, why?!</p> <p>So darned annoying... </p> <p>I'll wait to try out the cotton skirt in a store before I buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549574 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:58:50 +0000 MsMaven 549574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That may be a very tall model--21" usually comes to the top of my knee (5'8"). On the other hand, the cut of Halogen skirts doesn't match up with my body--generally not a flattering fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549573 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:57:34 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 549573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - that's short! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-halogan-pencil-skirts-available#post-549567 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:52:17 +0000 modgrl 549567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And no fun colors in petite.
