Understanding Garment Length

Choosing the right length helps you understand where a dress or skirt will sit on your height. Our products have the actual garment length in centimetres listed on the product pages so you may compare to your own measurements

While garment length gives an excellent starting point, where a style visually sits can vary based on individual proportions and styling. Factors that may affect this include:

  • Leg-to-torso ratio
  • Bust placement and waist rise
  • Footwear choice
  • Fabric weight and drape
  • Silhouette and cut of the garment
