Another simple and practical way of doing it would be, if the
skirt is quite plain, to lift it well from the top, and set it
neatly on to a band, so making the skirt shorter as well as
fuller. Eight inches is not considered too short for present
wear, though personally I think six inches a more graceful
length. However, do not be tempted to wear a very short skirt
unless you are the possessor of well-shaped feet and
ankles.--_The Woman's Magazine_.
But what about knees?
