First I want to say this skirt looks really nice on and is made of quality material. However, the back part was secured with a single stitch and as you can imagine that didn't last long. Idk if I don't know how to wear pencil skirts, but I feel like this skirt is the equivalent of a corset for your legs. If I had to run in this skirt to make a quick get away I would be doomed. But if you like to walk at a slow pace just to look good this is the garment for you.
