How to Take Your Own Measurements for a Perfect Fit
All you need is a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, stand naturally with your weight even on both feet, and keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger. Below is every measurement we may ask for. You do not have to get each number perfect: we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, so the fit is confirmed on your body first.
1
Bust circumference
Stand straight with your arms relaxed and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and snug with room for one finger.
2
Natural waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
3
Waist (trouser or skirt)
Measure around the area where you normally wear your trousers or skirts, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
4
Hips and seat
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

8
Outseam and trouser length
Measure from the top of your waistband down the outside of your leg to the point where you want the trouser hem to finish.
9

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

Description
A Study in Sophisticated Length
The midi pencil skirt is a masterclass in elegance—when the length is perfect. It’s a silhouette that can instantly elevate an entire wardrobe, but one that is notoriously difficult to get right. We’ve engineered the definitive version, combining a legendary Italian fabric with a bespoke process that guarantees a flawless, incredibly flattering fit.
An Impeccable Foundation: VBC Wool
A skirt this elegant demands an exceptional fabric. We use a world-class wool that outperforms and outlasts standard textiles.
- From the Legendary Vitale Barberis Canonico Mill: We use a Super 160s’ worsted wool from VBC, one of the oldest and most respected mills in Italy (est. 1663). This fabric is renowned for its incredibly smooth finish, beautiful drape, and four-season comfort.
- A Palette of 7 Essential Colors: Choose from a curated range of 7 sophisticated, versatile shades, including classic black, steel grey, and midnight blue.
Proportions of Power
This skirt is architected, not just sewn. Every detail serves to enhance its unique blend of modern style and timeless grace.
- The Tall Waistband: A clean, 2-inch tall waistband creates a strong, defined waist and provides a beautiful, elongating effect.
- The Grip-Enforced Interior: A high-end detail you’ll appreciate all day—the inside of the waistband is enforced with a grip to keep your blouses and shirts neatly tucked and perfectly in place.
- Designed for Confident Movement: A deep center-back vent ensures you can walk, sit, and move with graceful ease, defeating the restrictive nature of a typical pencil skirt.
Our Guarantee: The Perfect Midi, Every Time
The success of a midi skirt lies entirely in its length relative to your proportions. We eliminate the risk of a “frumpy” or awkward fit by sending you a free test skirt made to your initial measurements before we craft your final garment. This personal fitting allows you to perfect the length, ensuring it hits the most flattering point on your leg. It’s our commitment to a sophisticated result, guaranteed.
Caring For Your Skirt
To preserve the beauty and structure of your VBC wool, we recommend professional dry-cleaning only.

The shoulders sit wide, the trouser breaks at the wrong point, and the pinstripe runs slightly off because the seams were never placed for your body.

Women’s Skirt Fit Guide
How a Tailored Skirt Should Fit
A pencil skirt is only as good as three measurements, the waist, the hip, and the length, and off-the-rack rarely gets all three right on one body. A custom-made skirt does. You choose the length and the fit, we cut the waist and hip to your measurements, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is cut. This guide covers the fits and where a tailored skirt should sit.
Step One
Choose your fit
Slim / Pencil
Closely follows the waist, hip, and thigh for a sharp, tailored line. The classic work-skirt silhouette, cut with a vent or split so you can still walk freely.
Standard (Classic) Fit
Skims the hip with a little more ease than a true pencil, comfortable for all-day wear while keeping a clean, tailored shape.
Relaxed / A-line
Fitted at the waist and easing gently over the hip, for more movement and a softer line that flatters most figures.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Waist
The waistband sits at your chosen height, snug and level, with no gap at the back when you sit. Cut to your waist, it stays put without rolling or pinching.
Hip & seat
The skirt skims the widest part of your hips and seat cleanly, with no horizontal pull lines and no riding up when you walk. This is where cutting to your hip measurement matters most.
Length
You choose it: on the knee for a classic look, just above for a sharper line, or midi for elegance. Every hem is cut to your height and proportions.
Walking room
A fitted skirt is cut with a back vent, split, or kick pleat so you can walk and climb stairs comfortably without the skirt feeling restrictive.
Every skirt is made to your measurements, in the fit and length you choose, with the waist and hip cut to you and a vent for easy walking. A free test garment confirms it before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
Pencil skirts always ride up or gape at my waist. Am I just hard to fit?
You are not, ready-to-wear is. Skirts are cut to one fixed waist-to-hip ratio, so if yours is different, the waist gapes or the hips pull and the skirt rides up. We cut your waist and your hip independently to your own measurements, so the skirt sits level with no gap and skims the hip without riding, and you confirm exactly that on the free test garment before the final skirt is made.
I can never walk comfortably in a fitted skirt. Will this be different?
Yes. A tailored pencil skirt is cut with a back vent, split, or kick pleat that gives you real stride room for walking and stairs, and with enough ease through the hip to sit down comfortably. When you try the free test garment, take a few steps and sit, and if you want more walking room we simply add it before the final skirt is cut.
I have never bought a skirt I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. We make a free test skirt in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You put it on, walk, sit, and check the waist, hips, and length, then send us notes and photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished skirt is a fit you have already approved.
I am nervous I will measure my waist or hips wrong.
You do not have to be exact. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment catches anything slightly off, we see the skirt on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
I struggle to find any skirt that flatters my shape. Is custom-made really for me?
It is made for exactly you. A small waist with fuller hips, or the reverse, a longer or shorter body, these are the shapes off-the-rack fails and custom-made tailoring fits best, because we cut to your proportions rather than a size. You also choose the length that flatters you, cut to your height, so nothing is left to chance.
What if it arrives and something is not quite right?
The final skirt is cut to the exact fit you approved on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, the finished skirt carries seam allowances at the waist and seat so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
What if my size changes later?
Your finished skirt is made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can take it in or let it out at the waist and seat within reason. And we keep your measurements on record, so ordering another skirt that fits is simple whenever you want one.
