The Case for a Longer Hem
Standard grading assumes a standard body. For tall wearers, a boubou that stops short changes the whole line of the garment.
Flowing garments live or die by their hem. A boubou drafted for one height and worn at another does not read as a shorter boubou — it reads as a garment that does not belong to its wearer. The drape breaks at the wrong point and the eye notices before the mind does.
So length is being treated as a design decision rather than a size chart afterthought. Two measurements do most of the work: shoulder to floor, and the height of the shoe you intend to wear it with.
Extended lengths are planned as part of the made-to-order service. Exact sizing will be published once it has been tested on prototypes, not before.
