Pulmu high-waisted pencil skirt
Sizes: EUR 32-46 | US 0-14 | UK 4-18 | Size chart
Pulmu is a high-waisted and lined pencil skirt sewing pattern. This classic skirt has an interesting cut and an unusual construction without side seams. Instead, there is an interesting cut with side pieces that taper down towards the V-shaped side vents. The skirt is below-the-knee length, and it has a wide belt with a D-ring fastening at the waist. There’s an invisible zipper closure in the back.

Fabric recommendations
Choose a light or medium weight skirting with 0 - 5% stretch. The fabric can be slightly drapey or completely solid. For example cotton sateen or poly-crepe. For the lining, pick a light lining fabric. Our sample skirt is made up in a drapey polyester-mix, and lined with a light polyester lining fabric.
