Quick - Halogen seamed pencil skirt input!

catgirl

Thank you MNsara for pointing out that this is still available, AND it's on sale! How does it fit? It says it runs large - I just tried on some Halogen items and was a 6P in the waist; is this bigger than normal? What did you have to have done to it tailor-wise? I am so excited!

ETA: The ship date is FEBRUARY. Ack!

It's true to size for me, maybe even a touch bigger than normal. Lately I'm fluctuating between a size 8 - 12; I got a size 10 in the Halogen pencil skirt and it fits perfectly. It also has some give but wouldn't stretch or bag out due to the seaming.

It was exactly true to size on me.
And it is the BEST! SKIRT! EVER!! Honestly, the late ship date will still be worth it, it's that good!
I hope you can snag one!

Fairly true-to-size for me as well. I did find it slightly long, though. I'm 5'5" with relatively long legs and the petite size fit me better, ending just at the top of my kneecaps.

Thank you all! I can't tell you how hard I'm kicking myself for not getting this at the NAS, especially in the COLORS!

Honestly, I really wish that I had duplicated and bought it in TWO colors. (I got the gray shade.) Oh well!

AG - I saw that, and would get it in a heartbeat if I didn't already have a perfect black pencil skirt. Thanks for the heads up, though! What I wish I could get is the skirt in the beautiful deep violet color. Soooo pretty. I should have kept a closer eye on the sale section, but for some reason thought the skirt was 100% out of stock after NAS.

I got mine one size smaller in the Seamed Knit Skirt

than the other Halogen pencil skirt I tried http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3095057

I had mine taken in in the waist. Doing that also lifted up the entire skirt closer to my natural waist - so I didn't need it shortened then

I waver between 6, 8 and 10 in skirt sizes but an 8 petite in this skirt fit me almost perfectly. It doesn't even need to be taken in at the waist to not ride down to the hips. I love how the thick fabric and the seaming make it drape and hang well.

I got this skirt in a 6 when I was still mostly an 8 and it fit fine. Now it's a tad loose, but I don't mind it fitting that way.
