1. What is the Dress Length Calculator?

The Dress Length Calculator determines the ideal dress length based on your body measurements and heel height using the golden ratio (1.618). This ratio is considered aesthetically pleasing and is commonly used in fashion design.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the golden ratio formula:

Where:

• Shoulder to Floor — Vertical measurement from shoulder to floor (cm)
• Heel Height — Height of shoes you plan to wear (cm)
• 1.618 — The golden ratio constant

Explanation: The golden ratio creates proportional harmony between your body and the dress length for a balanced, flattering look.

3. Importance of Golden Ratio in Fashion

Details: The golden ratio (1.618) is found throughout nature and art. In fashion, it helps create visually appealing proportions that complement the human form.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For accurate results, measure from your shoulder point straight down to the floor without shoes. Then add your intended heel height.
