Sundresses can be of any neckline and hemline, ranging from mini to full length. Suppose one defines a miniskirt as "a skirt with a hemline above the knee". In that respect it is similar to the waistline and hemline. In this approach, the fabric is doubled along the hemline. "Flappers" raised the hemline and lowered the old restrictions in women's fashion. They also had a wide gold band a little up from the hemline. "Flappers" Raise the hemline and lowered the old restrictions in women's fashion. This approach adds no extra thickness at the hemline (which is sometimes desirable). The hemline index is a theory presented by economist George Taylor in 1926. In this work he also contributed to the concept of Hemline index.
