I generally wear my 14th/15th century garb (both kirtle and gown layers) at
past-my-feet level as you describe, and once you've practiced in it a bit,
it's not as bad as you would think. If I'm walking a long distance or
outdoors, I pick my skirts up, and going up stairs can be slightly tricky,
but if I'm indoors and wearing appropriate shoes (turnshoes) I can just kick
the hems out of my way as I walk.
YMMV, of course...

Thank you Jennifer for sharing your experiences. If I may ask, are your
hems stiffened in any way, or turned up a few inches? How far past your
feet are the hems?
I am going to be making myself on of these sets of garments (both kirtle
and gown), for an upcoming event in June, and I am trying to understand as
much as I can before I begin.
Thank you,
Kimiko
