<< 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? >>
Unless I'm remembering wrong, most patterns are made with a height of 5'6"
(66") in mind. Figure out the difference between that and your height, then
subtract a tad less (to keep things proportional) from the 47". So if
you're 5' even (60") then you'd wind up with a new length of 41", but you'd
add in about an inch because the heads of people who are 5' tall are
generally the same size as people who are 5'6" tall, winding up with a new
length of 42".
