Date: 1/29/13 10:11 AM I've heard (but haven't tried!) that you can put dressmakers chalk (the chalky kind not the waxy kind) on a piece of string, drawing pin the string across a door frame at the height you want your hem and then twirl against the string while wearing the skirt.
Hope that helps!

This method is in PR tips. Link
