Hi all,
I re-added the Clothing category here, for a few reasons:

This makes it sound as though the length of anything with a hem depends only on the time in history, and not on the weather, the choice of the individual, the occasion or any other factors. Which would be total nonsense. We ought to clear up this statement. -- Smjg 17:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

"The hemline is the line (...) measured from the floor. " The one measured is not the hemline (a line, the lower edge of a garment, usually horizontal, and that, as the article states can change " changing shape") this is the distance of the hemline form the floor (a imaginary vertical line). -- 109.55.23.137 ( talk) 09:15, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
To see an actual empirical data-derived chart of hemline heights in the 1920s, see p. 395 of Survey of Historic Costume ( ISBN 1-56367-142-5). The lowest year is 1923 (with April and October 1923 being the lowest months), while the highest years are 1927 and 1928, with September 1927 being the highest month. Unfortunately, the format of the chart doesn't make it easy to see where the September 1927 hemline falls with respect to the knees. Churchh ( talk) 22:21, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
