Wanda Pencil Skirt for Charm Patterns variations.

I’m so excited to share with you the Wanda Pencil Skirt, in sizes 2-20 and 18-34! It is the perfect separate destined to become a tailored staple in your wardrobe, and it mixes with our Lamour-series, too!

Inspired by Wanda Woodward from the movie Cry-Baby, the skirt is destined to bring out your inner bad girl with its thigh slit up to there (with or without invisible zipper for adjusting from day to night).

But of course we’ve given you options! Omit the thigh slit and go for the couture-worthy back vent, and it’s a perfectly elegant princess-seamed skirt for day or night. We’ve shown you how to fully line the skirt with a back vent, an advanced technique that will take your sewing to the next level.

You can also create a stunning wiggle dress with Wanda and any of our Lamour-series bodices like the Lamour and Liz Dresses, the Landis Bodice, the Mariner Top, or the Las Vegas Halter Top (with more coming soon) — xoxo, Gertie
