This is Ana, I hope to make the hemlines article more accurate, provide more information, correct any spelling or grammar mistakes, cite sources, among other things. A problem I found with the sentence below was that it had been copied and pasted exactly the same as in the source the person got the information from I thought of a way of refrasing it.
"Another 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. The Great Depression subsequently set in and hemlines fell to the floor once again."
Furthermore, another relevant figure on skirt length is the so known Hemline Index. The term was created by George Taylor in 1926, a professor at the Wharton School of Business. What the term states is that hemlines represent the stock market's rise and fall, meaning that it is representative of America's economy. For example, when hemlines rose in the 1920s it represented America's economic stability. However, during the Great Depression hemlines length increased.
