Por encima de la rodilla


Explanation:
Las faldas y los pantalones cortos tendrán una longitud razonable (por encima de la rodilla).

Creo que lo de "la punta de los dedos" no se entiende muy bien en español.

cortos


Explanation:
*las minifaldas y shorts no serán demasiado cortos*, éso diría yo, Nuria, creo q se refiere a algo más corto, es esp *por encima de la rodilla* es más largo q lo q el texto quiere decir

media pulgada?


Explanation:
es la opcion que se me ocurre. por lo que entiendo es que no quieren que se vea el surco inferior de la cola cuando se esta parada. en los 60 las faldas eran muy cortas y las bombachas venían con unos voladitos para que sobresaliera.

suerte
