LENGTHENING SHORT SKIRTS
Vinegar And Water For Removing Mark
Now that the knee-cap length skirt is on the way out, the problem of dropping the hem two inches or so is concerning young women who have a wardrobe of new, but too-short skirts. If there is a hem on the skirt, let it down and get rid of the tell-tale mark this way. Wet the hem mark thoroughly all round with a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. Press out with a cloth and there should be little of the mark left. Next time you wash the dress and hang it out to drip-dry there will be no sign of lengthening process. With skirt-lengths varying from season to season and tending to become a little longer each year, it is a good idea to see that all your dresses have a generous hem on them. Remember, too, that the smartest length for any woman is the length which best suits her own legs.
