Subject Author Date Remember that this is the SHORTEST it can be. If your daughter is small and 4 inches would be obscenely short, make it longer. (NT) Happy sewing! Monday, July 07, 12:33:27pm And if your daughter is a 5'9" U20 dancer, 4" above the knee may be too long. My daughter's newest dress is 6" above the knee and it looks right. I wish they would use a different standard for length -- I have been advocating the rule that most high schools use for skirts and shorts -- the hem must be at least to the fingertips -- allows for height variances, but is still modest. (NT) -- Kathleen, Monday, July 07, 05:06:00pm OOOH, I like that version - or the alternative one - skirt length is half the length of your thigh, so therefore should account for the long and lanky legged like my eldest dd. (NT) -- Lee in Darwin, Monday, July 07, 08:43:41pm Sorry that won't work on my DD she is 5'6" and really long arms and legs and the finger tip will make the skirt too long. They need one rule and the one in place is the most sensible in my opinion. (NT) -- just me, Monday, July 07, 09:51:20pm Skirt lengths - the minimum skirt length is not more than four inches above the knee level. It is hoped that the introduction of this rule will prevent excessively short skirt lengths ...... but it doesn't specify how this is to be measured and what part of the knee is it referring to - top of knee cap, middle,. Or how the leg should be - standing with 1 foot pointed or feet together???? (NT) seems pretty non-specific..... Monday, July 07, 05:24:14pm just look at NANs photos-I saw at least 1 new dress which is obsecenly short and was worn-dancer qualified for Worlds-and is not in any of the younger age groups- (NT) -- 4" rule is bunk, Monday, July 07, 05:51:32pm
