A Women’s High Waist Bandage Pencil Skirt is a sleek, figure-hugging garment that combines the shapely structure of a pencil skirt with the stretch and support of bandage fabric. Key features include:
High Waist
The skirt sits at or above the natural waistline, creating a flattering silhouette that cinches the waist and elongates the legs.
This elevated waist design enhances posture and offers a refined, tailored look.
Bandage Fabric
Constructed from “bandage” material: a dense, elastic knit comprised of high-stretch fibers such as rayon, nylon, and spandex. Reddit
The fabric is typically woven in thick, horizontal strips (or “bands”) that contour to the body, smoothing and sculpting the figure. Reddit+1
The material offers a firm but flexible fit — it hugs curves like shapewear while still being comfortable to move in. Reddit
Pencil Silhouette
The skirt’s cut tapers down from the hips to the hem, creating the classic “pencil” or straight narrow line.
It’s designed to be form-fitting without flaring out, ideal for both professional and evening wear.
Support and Sculpting
Thanks to the bandage construction, the skirt provides shaping support, helping to define the waist, hips, and thighs. Windsor+2MissTip+2
Many designs feature a back slit or vent to allow for ease of movement despite the tight fit. MissTip+1
Materials and Care
Common fabric blends: polyester, nylon, rayon, and a small percentage of elastane/spandex for stretch. MissTip+1
Care instructions often include gentle machine wash (or in some designer versions, dry clean only). MissTip+1
