Remove the old hem carefully
and slow ly so as not to catch or

the length of the skirt, or better

Inches fro m the flo o r Is the Ideal
length, but this m ay va ry slightly

that It’s a very new and easy way
to shorten the skirt.
Incidentally, if your closet holds

Picturesque collars and cuffs are

Some collars, especially on the

thus be exceedingly fashion-wise.
