where to lengthen?

I've just gotten my nearly 10 year old daughter to try on the size 12 MC shirt I made last year (the pink Gypsy Bandana one). I'm proud to say that fit wise it is ok however in length it sits just at the top of her hip and you can see the elastic casing of the Afterschool pants she's wearing.


I have considered lengthening this pattern but the question is would it look ridiculous if I just lengthen at the main shirt part instead of the yokes, or should I lengthen both areas? Just concerned it will look obvious that the pattern has been lengthened and it will look rather wrong on her.


She is currently wearing a hopscotch shirt underneath so this could be inhibiting the look of how it is fitting (which to me is still fine) but wouldn't in the length (as this pattern needs length added also).


Any suggestions?
