Black Pencil Skirt, Jody

The Jody Pencil Skirt in Black is a fitted knit pencil skirt in deep true black with signature Jody lace detail at the hem, built for executive professional dressing. The piece is part of the Jody Lace capsule in Black, sized to pair with every blouse, blazer, cardigan, and sweater in the same color family for fully coordinated tonal dressing.

Fabric
Botanical fiber knit in deep true black with signature Jody lace detail worked through the hem, finished with a fitted pencil silhouette, knee-length cut, and clean back closure. The botanical fiber knit holds shape across long days without losing the silhouette, the lace hem is the same family that defines the Jody Lace blazers, cocktail dresses, and blouses in black, and the pencil silhouette flatters across body types while reading as deliberate professional dressing. Handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, in limited batches. Designed in Europe. Ships from California.

Fit
The Jody runs slightly generous through the hip and waist; most clients take their usual size, and those between sizes take the smaller. Size up if you prefer additional ease through the hip or want the hem to fall longer on the leg. Fitted pencil silhouette. Refer to the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2.

Styling
Under the Jody Elegant Lace Top in Black for full tonal Jody Lace capsule dressing across the silhouette.
With the Jody Tailored Lace Blazer in Black for layered Jody Lace executive board dressing where skirt and blazer share the same lace family.
Under the Barbara Tailored Blazer in Black with a fine silk camisole for tailored executive board dressing.
Or with the Jody Lace Cardigan in Black over a silk camisole for cardigan-and-skirt tonal evening dressing.
Layered under the Agatha Pearl Detail Blazer in Ivory for ivory-and-black executive contrast dressing.
Or with the Jody Tailored Cardigan in Ivory for refined ivory-cardigan-and-black-skirt mother of the bride and ceremony dressing.
Coordinate metal tone consistently: silver and pearl hardware read modern with the black pencil; gold shifts the look warmer and traditional.

Care
Botanical fiber knit with lace hem detail. Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Air dry. Steam or iron on low if needed. Do not bleach. Store folded rather than hanging to preserve the silhouette; hanging stretches knit pencil skirts over time. Steam to refresh between wears.

Questions buyers ask about the Jody skirt

How does the Jody skirt fit, and what size does the model wear?

The Jody skirt is a close pencil cut that stops at the knee and leaves a touch of ease at the hip. Order your usual size, or the smaller one if you sit between two. Our model is 5 foot 9 and wears a size 2, and the sizing guide has the full chart.

How do I care for the Jody skirt, and what is it made of?

The skirt is a botanical fiber knit in true black, with a lace band worked into the hem. It can go in the machine on a gentle cycle, then air dry, and it should never meet bleach. Keep it folded in a drawer so the knit holds its line.

What do I wear with the Jody skirt, and for which occasion?

For a board meeting, wear it with the Black Tailored Blazer, Barbara ($610) and a silk camisole. For a softer contrast, the Ivory Pearl Detail Blazer, Agatha ($680) puts ivory and pearl over the black. Our Boardroom Outfit for Women Over 45 guide features this skirt, and the Business Outfits collection has more pieces for the office.

How fast does the Jody skirt arrive, and can I return it?

US shipping is free, and the skirt comes from our US warehouse in 2 to 5 days. You get 30-day returns with no questions asked, so you can try it with your own blazers before you decide.
