Some of the uniform suppliers here have short, regular and tall skirt
lengths with the same waistband size. If there's more than one supplier, you
might want to check into this as an option.

Cost was a bit of an issue, and the supplier I found was quite cheap, but
the skirts only came in one length. Thankfully they've got a good refund
policy, so I'll have a look and see if I can find somewhere with the same
pattern that offers them in different lengths, thank you!

My school district does uniforms (Teachers aren't required to wear them, but
I feel it is setting a good example to do so), and I actually buy my skirts
through one of the school uniform suppliers in the larger kids' sizes,
because it costs much less than trying to find something equivalent via
adult stores. I have to get the short sizes, because apparently teen/preteen
girls with my waist size are supposed to be playing basketball or something!

I suppose they have to make them long enough for just about everybody, since
you can't really make it longer the way you can shorter... I'm slightly
above average in height, but was always one of the shortest ones in the
class most of the time I was in school. I can still sometimes find clothes
in the larger girls sizes that fit me quite well, though!
