Question for the VURD: Sewing Division

[saffronhare]

Can anyone recommend a resource for figuring the ideal length of skirts and dresses for short people? Continuing lack of employment has me wanting to be productive in some way, and I have some great patterns that deserve to be used -- like, regular clothes, instead of costuming. Thank you!

I was afraid that'd be the answer. I'm a terrible judge of what flatters me. Maybe the teenager would be willing to consult? She sure has opinions about what I should and should not wear!

By the way, it's those wonderful patterns you gave me that are calling. :)

Yay! I'm happy to hear they're going to be used. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, though. =/ You really just gotta figure out what looks good for your own body. Or ask a trustworthy source. =D

I can tell you, though, skirts that stop right in the middle of the knee don't look good on very many people.

I'll judge for ya! Although the Ophelia's skirt already landed you the job HERE. ;-)

Yeah, I'm probably not that helpful in this area. ::grin::
