title: "Penelope pencil skirt: Fabric Options"
---

### Main Fabric

A pencil skirt is a rather formal cut, and most commonly is made in a suiting material. In other words, a **fine wool**.
More casual options among **medium weight** fabrics include **cotton** or **denim**.

Using a fabric with some stretch will make it easier to get a comfortable fit and give you some more room to move about
as pencil skirts fit rather tight. **Scuba** is often seen in pencil skirts as it is firm, has body but also stretchs.

### Lining Fabric

The lining fabric needs to be light, and allow the body to slide over it easily. You also don't want something to thick as this will be constricting. **Silky** fabrics are the go to choice as they are lightweight and slippery.

feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown 2021-08-25 16:09:31 +02:00
