edb Collection Presents...

The edb Essential... The 'Almost Pencil Skirt' in navy.

As the name suggests, it's an essential! A full length pencil skirt. Well, because it is full length with no splits, it's 'almost pencil'. :)

I have used a good quality, slightly thicker than normal jersey fabric. I wanted the first one to be a little thicker so you can wear it without having to wear anything underneath. I have having to wear underskirts/petticoats under every skirt/dress I own. I also wanted it to be a little thicker so it doesn't put the entire silhouette and our celulite OUT THERE.

So it skims down nicely... But the slight thickness of the fabric also makes it convenient for night time if you need! So it will not look out of place for a day or night event.

This is my sample. It's ready to be sent for manufacturing. I drew up the pattern myself in accordance with what I thought we as hijabis need. However, I think this style skirt should be a staple item for everyone's wardrobe whether hijabi or not. No, I'm not just trying to market it cos I made it :P Seriously! But we really need(ed) things like this.

The fabric, the perfect length, the cut, the waist/comfort... the stitch quality... these are all important factors. I used elastic on the waist to make it comfortable, but I didn't want it to look like those cheap skirts, so I used a technique that makes it comfortable thanks to the elastic, but does not look like it's an elastic waisted skirt from the outside.

I will be including belts with these skirts, and there will be a good range of colours ranging from the neutrals to the classic dark ones.

Sizing is going to be as follows:

XS / 6-8

S / 10-12

M / 14-16

L / 18-20

XL / 22-24

Pricing is estimated to be $49.99 (including belt). And you get the designer fashion label in for free LOL

Now, the photo of me wearing the skirt is a crappy one, but I will get some nice ones taken later on. This is just to share with you for the time being. :))))

So, now you tell me?

Does the price sound reasonable?

Would you purchase such a skirt online and/or at shops?

Help me :)

Every comment is appreciate. :)

Your opinion means a lot! :)
