Yes. This is the correct answer to all of your decision questions from this point forward. ;)
If you're talking about the La Cotte Simple pattern, the hemline length is to taste. There's no set measurement on it, so you can make it as long or as short as you want it.
I don't know how much sewing experience you have, but if you are unsure about making it, I personally would recommend making a mockup out of a cheap fabric like muslin before cutting up your more expensive material. Then you can see if you need to add/remove material, or modify the pattern. You can always cut away excess material if you have too much, but it's a bit more difficult to add material if you don't have enough.

Ya, The one you see me wearing in this pic is one I made out of scratch. No instructions. Just kinda was like "Im going to make a surcoat before I go to MD Renfair" I made it so it jad 2 different kind of cloths. I ruffer tuffer one on the out side and a soft one on the inside. I did this so the soft one would be easier on the maille. Came out pretty good. Ignore the belt hight.

It's an antique! And priceless! Plus, the value of the debt keeps going up. It's a solid investment, nothing else on the market like it. Literally the only one of it's kind!
