I expect to need to raise the waist anyway, so the extra length should be useful. That way I can keep the width-at-hem instead of cutting it off and making a narrower skirt.
But yes, she does seem to add 2" length for every dress size. I got chubbier, not taller! :) I really appreciate all the input on this pattern. I'd love to use Robin's method, but I'm doing this mainly alone and her very clever method requires more help than I want to rely on. Good thing there's no hard deadline.
