What You’ll Learn
- Unless you're going for a high-low look, there's no reason to have a wavy or uneven hem on your skirt or dress. Use this step-by-step video-series to ensure that your skirt or dress looks professionally tailored—or shorten a hem to the length that you prefer for an updated look on an old favorite..

The exception to this rule is when the skirt has an uneven hem such as higher in the front and lower in the back. .
- The Alterations Specialist should never assume that a skirt that is made anywhere would have a finished hem that is even to the floor. What this means is if you remove 3” from the hem equally all around, the finished hem could look longer or shorter in some areas when finished due to the hem not being parallel to the floor to start with. An uneven hem can be due to the client’s body shaping the dress when worn (the client’s back hem will look shorter if they have a protruding backside) or due to the material draping less from being cut with the grain or draping more from being cut on the bias grain..
