In the late 1960's, hemlines rose significantly above knee length for the first time. In the early 1970's, some women stayed with the miniskirt, some women went to the other extreme of ankle-length "granny dresses", while fashion designers tried to push an intermediate "midi" skirt length (see illustrations from September 1971 issue of Women's ...
Another theorized influence on the length of a woman's skirt is the hemline index, which, oversimplified, states that hemlines rise and fall in sync with the stock market. The term was brought up by Wharton Business School Professor George Taylor in 1926 at a time when hemlines rose with flapper dresses during the so-called Roaring '20s.
Bertin was an advocate of the "multi-skirt" approach, which used a number of smaller cylindrical skirts instead of one large one in order to avoid the problems noted above. During the early 1960s he developed a series of prototype designs, which he called "terraplanes" if they were aimed for land use, and "naviplanes" for water.
[102] [103] Calf-length midi-skirts were introduced in 1966–67, [104] [105] and floor-length maxi-skirts appeared around the same time [106] [107] after being seen on hippies first around 1965–66. [108] Like miniskirts, these were overwhelmingly casual in feel and simply constructed to a two-straight-side-seams A-line shape.
The hemline index is a theory that suggests that skirt length (hemlines) rise or fall along with stock prices. The most common version of the theory is that skirt lengths get shorter in good economic times (1920s, 1960s) [1] and longer in bad, such as after the 1929 Wall Street crash. However, the reverse has also been proposed with longer ...

Some other skirt styles of the time also had very narrow hems, particularly the knee-length puffball/pouf skirts shown by Pierre Cardin, [16] Yves Saint Laurent, and others from 1957 to 1960. [17] A few of Saint Laurent's 1959 skirts were so narrow at the hem that some fashion writers revived the word "hobble" to refer to them.
