The final length of my skirt was 43” because I used a 27” long elastic. For a knee length dress, cut the gown length to be full length (e.g. 60”) and then use 25” elastic. So to reduce the length of the gown, just reduce the length of the elastic.

Good day ma Weldone and thanks for the wonderful tutorial ,it's self explanatory Pls ma,I've been trying to sewing me presently following this tutorial,using 27 inches elastic and coming up with 8 inches from the hemline,I used 42 inches for my skirt length,but after inserting my elastic which is 27 inches by length,my gown doesnt have that ruched effect ,so ma,my question is should I reduce the length of the elastic? Or is it possible for me to use 27 inches long elastic and Ruch it to the hem line? And pls ma,how can I helm the hemline,should I helm it before or after ruching the gown? Thanks for your response ma.🙏🎉
