Enter the length of your body from shoulder tip to ground (in) and the heel height (in) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Dress Length. 

Dress Length Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Dress Length.

DL = (SGL + HH) / 1.618

Variables:

  • DL is the Dress Length (inches)
  • SGL is the length of your body from shoulder tip to ground (in) 
  • HH is the heel height (in) 

To calculate Dress Length, sum the length of your body from shoulder tip to ground and the heel height, then divide by the golden number of 1.618.

How to Calculate Dress Length?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Dress Length.

  1. First, determine the length of your body from shoulder tip to ground (in). 
  2. Next, determine the heel height (in). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = DL = (SGL + HH) / 1.618.
  4. Finally, calculate the Dress Length.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

length of your body from shoulder tip to ground (in) = 50

heel height (in) = 3

DL = (SGL + HH) / 1.618 = ?
