Subject: 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.

's message, "Remember that this is the SHORTEST it can be. If your daughter is small and 4 inches would be obscenely short, make it longer." on Monday, July 07, 12:33:27pm [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date 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
