About the pattern
Atrium is the classic pencil skirt: front and back darts shape it to the waist, a zip and a walking vent sit in the centre-back seam, and a straight waistband finishes the top. An optional lining makes it glide over tights.
Women's sizes EU 34 to 52, close-fitting to just below the knee.
