Oh, sure. Heming as the last step of construction is how nearly all made-to-measure skirts and dresses are done. It allows for the correction of all sorts of oddities, both from the wearer's body shape and from the style of construction, or mistakes in fabrication. It's a pain to do with 20-some feet of hem, and 22 pleats, I'll grant.
