Elusive green pencil skirt

[tethersend]

Have been looking for one FOREVER

So many 'nearlys' out there...

So, I need:

Size 16
Not jersey
Split at the back or side, not the front
High waist preferred
Green

It should be so easy... instead, I feel like I want to smoke crack.

Can anyone help?

Have you still not found one? Your green pencil skirt and my red dress seem to have been eluding us both for years now! :)

Will have a gander.

I know... Remind me of your red dress requirements and I'll look for that too

Do you want green or sulphur

Red but not too red; maybe silk or cotton; flippy shape rather than bodycon; not too long; scoop or v neck ideally.

This sort of shape maybe

Blimey, I don't mind that Boden one, but it's not green. Also not worth waiting 14 weeks for- do people really do that?!

Will keep my eyes peeled for red dress- but I do remember the search now... the horror, the horror

Totally not what you want but it could work with killer shoes

pretty red dress

I saw that one and was tempted, but it's no use- I want pencil.

Are you still working at the school that dare not speak its name? I saw this dress and thought of you, as it would confuse the hell out of them

har - no, I don't think anyone would wait 3 months for a skirt

Bizarrely, this is the first link my search came up with.

I don't follow blogs. And I don't do 'crafts'.

Anyway, looks like someone else gave up on the search for the perfect pencil skirt and had to make their own. Could you do this? Or out-source to a dress-maker?

Ha - That Ted baker dress is great; am v tempted! :)

The FC one is cute but that shape combined with the jersey fabric would be awful on me, I'm afraid - it would make my norks look huuuuuuuuuuge.

Red dress 1

Red dress 2

Red dress 3

Red dress 4

All of which will be wrong

Split in the wrong place and doesn't look v green to me but it does have a high-ish waist

this one looks pink though

Green but it's tartan!

I wish I could make clothes. That pattern looks perfect.

Anyone know any dressmakers in London?

It's orange not red but the nicest I've found so far - what do you think?

Thanks Pointy but that one would be too long and frumpy on me.

VERY nice

I think I'm going to get that skirt in Prince of Wales check, Remus.

NOW WHERE'S MY GREEN PENCIL SKIRT?!

that one's gorgrous, remus

Will try the orange one on and let you know - could be good or could just wash me out completely. Oh and I have dark purple hair at the mo - would that be a disaster? :)

Lovely colour

Whoops! Slit at front. Sorry.

How rich are you feeling?
