I've made several of these; on myself and my husband they come to somewhere between mid-calf and knee. I don't know what they're supposed to be!
I wouldn't shorten at the hem; I'd try for a middle of the pattern piece adjustment. And, an ankle length one might look very nice!

The envelope picture isn't clear. I already tried asking Folkwear directly, and the response was "moron, look at the back of the envelope, it's a 47" long garment". 47 inches long would be almost floor-length on me, and I know that's too long. I need to shorten this, but how _much_ do I need to shorten it? Also, my pattern does not have the adjustment lines that the pattern instructions claim are present. Does it work better to shorten at the hem, or about the middle of the pattern piece?
