To hem a dress with the hem the same distance from the floor all around the hem, the person to wear the dress should put it on with the shoes she would most likely wear with the dress. After deciding the hem length, a friend, using a straight ruler or yard stick would then hold the ruler, end on floor, and at what ever height the wearer wants, pin the dress completely around at the desired hem length. The skirt fabric would then be trimmed the same length from the pins to the edge of the fabric, Then general hemming directions would be followed. Only by measuring from the floor UP, can the dress hang the same distance from the floor all around.
