If you're tall, what you consider to be mid-thigh is probably going to be too long for the average woman at about 5'5".  I'm 5'4" and 32" is about the maximum tunic length for me.  Anything longer becomes a dress.  

 

One thing I find amusing and a bit sad are the women here who are unwilling or unable to put a simple hem in a garment.  They'll return something they love because it's too long.  As a seamstress, I'm sure you too will find that rather amazing.


@Kachina624........Uh huh......I am under 5'.........and I learned how to "hem" when I was in grade school.


@Desertdi  I did too, Di, but it seems to be not PC for women to know how to sew in this day and age.  I also taught my son rudimentary sewing.

 

I think most garments QVC calls "tunics" really are tunic length.

There are to many retailers offering petites. I don't feel like I should have to bother with a hem when I can find it anywhere in a petite. The average American woman is 5'3-3/4" tall. All tunics should be in petites.

I'm 5'4" and I don't like the tunics longer than 31" to 32" as they begin to look like dress on me.  Usually look for the 31" mostly.
