Fab Flash: Dress Length Reflects Economy

Fab Flash: Dress Length Reflects Economy Economists are not big fans of maxi dresses. Not because they like to see a lot of leg (although this may also be the case) but because it is believed that the length of dresses reflect the state of the economy, "Hemlines go up in a boom, down in a recession."
