Lets talk about pencil skirt – a timeless classic. How did it come about? Where did the inspiration come from and how our TUUB ladies wear it?<\/p>\n

In 1908 Wilbur and Orville Wright chose the wife of an associate, Mrs. Berg, to be the first female aeroplane passenger. As chains and propellers whirled and cranked close to her blowing and billowing skirts, the brothers tied a rope above Mrs. Berg\u2019s ankles to avoid disaster.<\/p>\n\n

It didn\u2019t take long before Paris designers adopted Mrs. Berg\u2019s rope-tied skirt. Dubbed the hobble skirt, the style spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the fighting ended, in 1918, the Suffragettes finally won the vote in the UK. American women won the right to vote in 1920.\u00a0In the aftermath of war, the younger generation questioned the values of the older generation, including not just politics, but also their fashion<\/p>\n

In 1940, Christian Dior created the first pencil skirt, a shortened adaptation inspired by the provocative shape of the 1910 hobble skirt.<\/p>\n

The earliest pencil skirts were part of a woman\u2019s suit ensemble, worn with a jacket or tunic. Eventually, the pencil skirt was worn with fitted blouses and soft sweaters<\/p>\n\n

We all know that TUUB is a practical garment\u00a0 that can be worn in multiple ways. Our girls in TUUB wore it as a skirt, it suits every woman in all ages and shapes<\/p>\n
