When shopping, how do you know what is the perfect length for a dress or skirt? Some dresses or skirts are made shorter, or are they? Actually, all fashion is made to fit a certain girl, that girl is called the "Fit Model". Every company has a fit model as a standard for all their sizing. From that girl's measurement, the garments will be graded (sized) up or down to fit the different size ranges. No outfit is custom made to fit your body, that is why one garment will look so different on each body type no matter what size you are. So with that being said, how are you suppose to shop and know what length dress or skirt is going to fit your proportions? The shorter the dress or skirt then the longer your legs will look. The longer the dress or skirt then the shorter you are going to look. If you are short then try to stay away from wearing dresses or skirts that hit just below the knee, as this will make you look even shorter and make your hips wider. The opposite is true for taller people, try not to wear short dresses or short skirts if you are tall, as they will make you look like "all legs". The most flattering look is when your body is balanced. You will know if you are in balance when the edge of the dress or skirt hits at your middle finger. Stand straight up and make sure your arms are straight down. Wherever your middle finger hits on your thigh is the right length for you! These garments show a great example of perfect proportion.
