12-9. Skirt, blue (optional)

a. Design. The skirt will be made from an approved specification or pattern.

b. General description. There are two optional skirt styles.

(1) Standard skirt. The skirt is a dress type with a one-piece set-on waistband, zipper closure at center back, a

waistband extension piece on left side of waistband closure, a rubberized nonslip tape on inside of waistband, a back slide fastener, two front and two back darts, an on-seam waistband pocket on the right front (with pocket opening on outside of the skirt), a back open pleat finishing right over left. The lining is free hanging full lining, attached to the skirt at the waistband with a closed inverted pleat in the lining. It is designed to fit smoothly, but not tightly around the hips, seat, and waist, with a slight fullness for comfort.

(2) Double seam skirt. The skirt is a dress type, knee-length with a three-piece front and a three-piece back, slightly

flared, with a waistband and zipper closure on the left side. It is designed to fit smoothly, but not tightly around the hips, seat, and waist, with a slight fullness for comfort.

c. How worn. The skirt should fall between 1 inch above and 2 inches below the midpoint of the knee, and the

length of back vent will not be less than 5 inches long. The skirt viewed from the front and back should continue the slender lines of the coat, tapered slightly at the sides (see TM 10 –227 for additional fit guidance).
