Tips of Hem Length
Hem length is one of the most effective illusions of form.
Here are some rules.
✓ The shorter the legs, the shorter the skirts.
✓ Colour and fabric weight elongate or shorten the length silhouette.
✓ The darker the color or the heavier the fabric, the shorter you should wear it.
✓ Lightweight fabric such as silk can be worn a bit longer to distract its float and won’t appear short.
✓ The color of your stockings and shoes affects or exaggerates the length of a hemline.
