NOTE: if you're a skinny-minnie you might want to add less than 4" to the hip measurement. 2.5-3" might be more appropriate for you.
ANOTHER NOTE: To help determine the width needed for the hem, wrap a tape measure around your legs at the point you'd like the hem to be while spreading your legs in a "giant step".
I like a full, wide hemline. But then, I like my skirts long. A shorter skirt will not require such a wide hemline.
