Didn’t you always want to know if there is an ideal length your skirt or dress should be that suits your height and doesn’t make you look dumpy? The answer is “yes!” You do not need to rely on an “expert” just read below and you will know what you need to do! I came across this great post on pinterest. Do you remember my post “Fashion For Your Body Proportions” and the discussion about “golden ratio”? Well that number is 1.618.
It identifies that all structures, specifically their length if divided by this number, 1.618 will give you the perfect proportions between any two body parts. For example, if the length from my shoulders to the floor is 138 cm divided by 1.618 equals my ideal skirt length. That number is 86 cm. Considering I design and sew a lot of my own clothes I can now calculate the golden ratio to determine my ideal dress or skirt length! Or when I purchase a skirt/dress I know the perfect proportional length for these items for my body. I actually often have bought skirts or dresses in the past at this length. So look at yourself in the mirror and trust your intuition! You know what looks good. However, no harm in double checking with the “golden ratio”!!
For best results do this method with the heels that you plan on wearing with the garment.
