...and if you can let me know how you went about hemming it, I'd be grateful...seems like I've got the bloody thing up at the base of my ribcage to get the hem just to the top of my knee-cap...I know that this style should be worn rather high but this might be a wee bit too high. Any special tricks that you could pass along about how to do a neat job would be appreciated.

Also...when you sew the fell, do you sew through all of the layers of fabric or just the two bottom layers (from inside the fold of the pleat)?
