How to measure:
1. get a tape measure
2. stand straight in front of mirror, or ask someone to help
3. measure your waistline(the dress's waist line) to the hem you want! you don't need to wear the dress!
4.【the whole skirt length】minus【your measurement】is the length you need to cut.
Ritz gown: 45"/114cm
Romance novel, terroce gown : 46" / 117cm
For me as 5'1"(156cm) barefoot!
39"(100cm) : slightly drag on the floor
37" (95cm) : under ankle
35" (90cm) : on ankle
32" (81cm) : lower shin
29.5" (75cm) : mid shin
24.5" (63cm) : under knee
22.5" (58cm) : on knee
20" (51cm) : above knee
18.5" (47cm) : mid thigh
15.5" (40cm) : mini
So if you are 5'3", just add 2 more inches on this! but this is approx! everyone has different length of legs and torso, and different favorite skirt length! just do not bend over when you measure.
