1. What is the Dress Length Calculator?

The Dress Length Calculator determines the ideal dress length based on your body measurements and heel height, using the golden ratio (1.618) for aesthetically pleasing proportions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the golden ratio formula:

Where:

• \( Shoulder\ to\ Floor \) — Measurement from shoulder to floor (cm)
• \( Heel\ Height \) — Height of shoes you plan to wear (cm)
• \( 1.618 \) — The golden ratio constant

Explanation: The golden ratio creates visually harmonious proportions that are naturally pleasing to the eye, making it ideal for fashion design.

3. Importance of Golden Ratio in Dress Design

Details: The golden ratio has been used in art and design for centuries. In fashion, it helps create balanced, flattering proportions that complement the wearer's body shape.
