Italian term (edited):
longuett
midi skirt / calf-length skirt
I do these translations all the time. Longuette is a calf-length skirt, also known as midi.
Attention, "pencil" refers to the tightness of the cut - not the length - and in Italian would be "tubino"

: Agree in general, but in this particular context, with pants being stretch, it seems that the skirt should be tight for the outfit to work - a pencil skirt.
