I'm 5'8" and the skirts are always too long for me. I think they all vary, so asking a vendor for the longest one they have will probably get you to your solution.

Hints for short gals I'm 5'2" so I twist and stuff my skirts into pillow cases. After wearing them, I check them for rips or mending needing to be done, then pull the top tier wide to reverse the gravity effect of the bias of the fabric. To make my skirts a little shorter, I also made 3 small pintucks all around the lower part of the second tier, which reduced the length by about 2 and a half inches. Cheers, Susan

That is a great idea! I have a skirt that keeps sliding out from under everything I wear on top of it, and I bet this would help "Stick it" in place! Thanks for the tip!

I just bought a skirt from a new Ebay vendor, Smiths Collection, "smithscollection-2008", and am very happy with it- it's 39" long. Sounds like they are willing to dye to order, the price was excellent. I'm not sure it's a full 25 yards as listed (it just doesn't look that full to me, but I haven't measured it yet, so I could be imagining things- or it might just still be compressed from shipping); my guess would be 15 yds- but it's still full enough to tuck properly. The one I got was black with a very rich red dip-dyed border.

you can try We3Bellydance on ebay also - their tiered skirts come in 3 different standard lengths, and they do custom also.

Great idea! Those things are like shelf grippy, but softer.

Another tip for wearing your skirts lower, but not worrying about them falling down....... Ace Bandage. (the more grippy ones, like the ones that stick to themselves) You can wrap it around your hips as low as it is comfortable and anthything you wear on top will have a nice 'adhesive' so to speak.

well if you want to purchase one www.flyingskirts.com makes them in lengths. i am 5"11 and all leg and I got the basic 10 yard practice skirt from them in long and it fits like a dream!

Yes, I also highly recommend Tribal Bazaar www.tribalbazaar.com They can measure what they have and select a longer skirt for you. I sell skirts also, but I do not have the inventory on hand to actually measure and select the longest of the bunch. Send them a note. Here is their tribe: http://tribes.tribe.net/tribalbazaar Good luck!

~Yes!:)~hanging the 25 yard Tribal Skirts usually adds 2"minimum~ ~You hang them from the 2 inside tab strings attached at the waistband~ ~they usually run 37"long~so that would give you 39"in length~ ~hand wash cold~hang to dry~ ~18 solid colors available~ ~easy care&full&fluffy! www.stores.ebay.com/wendybalisle

I make longer 25 yard skirts... but they arent the super fluffy material that you get from places like Tribal Bazzar (I bet she would measure some for you to check length). I also recomend the wet and hang... it works =0

I agree - I'm 5'11" and bought the longest Jaipur skirt that Tribe Nawaar had in stock at the time, it has definitely grown over time with hanging, too! (It is my favourite skirt - in my profile pic.)

TOTALLY ... and if you wet them and hang them, they get longer. I had to stick one of mine in the dryer to try and shorten it up. Holy cow. Now it's faded and I am in the market for a new black one.

Hi Amira I too am 5'10" and with some of my skirts I am able to wear them just below the waistband of an underskirt or my pantaloons to give me an extra 2" or so. otherwise, I end up using them just as accent/overskirts and tuck them up on the sides.

Amira - wet them, and hang them to dry. The weight of the water will help pull it downward. This works because the top tier is a circle, so the bias stretches. :) If that doesn't give you enough length (I think you need a good four or five inches, really) we'll have to see if we can add some length somehow at the waist... maybe a new tier for a waistband. You definitely need longer skirts somehow.

My fluffy skirts have grown from hanging, too. I guess the weight does it over time.

I've bought some extra long skirts from Tribal Bazaar, and they're willing to measure what's in stock. Also, I've found that some of my Jaipur skirts have grown a couple inches from hanging.

Hi Amira! I'm short, so all my skirts are too long, BUT, I know some skirts are quite long. I would send a message to the nice gal over at Tribe Nawaar, and ask her how long her skirts are. http://www.tribenawaar.com/marketplace/Skirts.html And, maybe over to Gwen at Flying Skirts, since I think she makes all the ones she sells. http://www.flyingskirts.com/ :)

Thanks. I'll try etsy. Wish I did sew though. Its something on my "bucket list" that I need to learn.

AmiraNoire 2008-12-14T23:40:23Z Namir http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/d9a7ace9-95a6-43fc-b7ae-8fbea14eace0#7020adf4-7f7f-4787-970c-d8df91842d4a 2008-12-14T22:14:18Z 2008-12-14T22:14:18Z

Do you sew at all, Amira? If so, then I'd suggest adding a top tier to the skirts you find--where your hipscarf or coins will cover it, and where it doesn't have to be 25 yards long! My other suggestion would be to look around on Tribe for those who vend on eBay or etsy--AngelDMort and Qamar come immediately to mind, and I know there are others out there. Good luck!

I am starting to build up my costuming essentials and am trying to buy some different 25 yrd skirts. However, I am 5'10 and am having a hard time finding really long ones. Anyone have any advice? <3 Amira
