Skirt has front fly zipper fastening, deep hem and center back concealed slit. Short skirt finishes at the knee; longer version finishes at mid-calf. Wear this super-flattering Skirt with our Metropolitan Criterion Blouse and Seriously Stylin’ Jacket for a sharp office-appropriate outfit, or try it with one of our fabulous twinsets for a casual dress-down Friday look.
