I can't believe the image for this skirt has not been changed from its current paper-doll status! (Refer to the "J.Crew Mini-Blooper: Sunshine Peony Pencil Skirt {paper doll edition}" post for more.) Ah well! ;)

J.Crew describes this little number as the following:

Our perfect pencil silhouette—leg lengthening and fit to flatter—in a fetching floral honeycombed matelassé (the print reminds us of a work by one of our favorite Impressionist artists—and it's exclusively ours). Prepare for compliments.

A big "thanks!" to Belle de Jour who shared the following review:

This skirt is the same fabric and cut as last year's Watercolor Floral Pencil skirt (Item 14864; $88.00— Gigi has reviewed last year's model here and this year's here). I purchased both the size 4 & 6, not being sure how sizing was running this year. The size 6 fits exactly the same way as my size 6 from last year.

The colours are not quite a match to the website. This has to do with how the fabric is cut. One of the skirts is more pink/white and the other is more mustard. I would suggest purchasing multiples (if your wallet allows in the short term) in order to have the colourway your looking for.

I will be returning this skirt. It's lovely, and if I didn't already own last year's incarnation, I would keep it. I'm still looking for a Silk Floral Indigo Skirt (Summer 2009) and hoping J.Crew has something as stunning in the next few months.

"Thanks!" again to Belle de Jour for her great review of this skirt!
