VINTAGE LAURA ASHLEY 
Red / Pink Floral Cotton & Wool Blend Skirt 
UK 10 
Please check measurements below
Couple of pulled threads - see photos -
about 8" down from waist alongside the end of the pocket.
****
 and hem has been, I'd say, just RE-turned up, by hand because the original overlocking is still there. 
(ie., It's not been shortened)
Again, see photos
Probably just came down, as hems can often do.

Waist is approx 21" at rest
When stretched, I'd say it would comfortably 
stretch to approx 28"
(Waist elastic is sturdy and in good order)
Top of Waistband to Hem is approx 31"
