Chapter 88—The Reform Dress In answer to letters of inquiry from many sisters relative to the proper length of the reform dress, I would say that in our part of the State of Michigan we have adopted the uniform length of about nine inches from the floor. I take this opportunity to answer these inquiries in order to save the time required to answer so many letters. I should have spoken before, but have waited to see something definite on this point in the Health Reformer. I would earnestly recommend uniformity in length, and would say that nine inches as nearly accords with my views of the matter as I am able to express it in inches. {1T 521.1}

(521) Som svar på spørgsmål fra mange søstre om den rette længde på de reformerende klæder, vil jeg sige at vi, i vor del af Mischigan-staten, har antaget os den samme længde på omkring 23 centimeter fra gulvet. Jeg tager denne anledning til at svare på disse spørgsmål, for at spare tid på at svare så mange breve. Jeg burde have udtalt mig noget før, men har ventet, om der kom en anledning i Health Reformer'en. Jeg vil alvorligt anbefale ensartethed i længden og vil sige at henved 23 centimeter stemmer overens med mit syn på sagen, da jeg kan udtrykke det i centimeter.
