Here we have the most basic style of skirt, this is the first type of skirt you'll learn how to sew when we get into sewing because it is so simple. It's a pencil skirt, straight legged, the pencil skirt, good for business suits, good for a lot of different things. There's so many different things that you can branch off of a pencil skirt and do, as far as even creating something like a dress from the skirt, but the actual silhouette of a pencil skirt is very, very simple. Typically the waist is a little bit, at the natural waist, it's higher, although feel free if you want a low waisted pencil skirt, I've done those before, they look really awesome, especially on, but, we're going to do a natural waist pencil skirt here. So make your waistline, then pencil, meaning "straight", goes down straight, the side. Typically a pencil skirt is going to be around knee level, and I have mine where it dips in, it could be straight down, and it could be wider across there, but I don't like the way that looks. This makes a person look thinner, to have it go in. Draw your line, and there is your pencil skirt, simple as that! That is all it takes.
