The skirt is designed to be around knee-length, but you can lengthen or shorten it to your liking (as some of my wonderful pattern testers have done).

The Ellie pinafore was designed as a flat front garment and doesn't have bust shaping. You can follow this tutorial on how to add bust darts to add shaping if needed.
