Squaring off the hem, what is your approach?

[breakfasteatre]

Do you square off the hem in line with the shortest part on the side (the yoke? side gusset? I dont know the term)

Do you square it off leaving a V to either side?

Do you square it off to a specific length measurement?

WTF?

Is there an option for those who don't square off period?

I am terribly confused by that picture. But don't square the hem unless you want it to look like you're wearing a bowling shirt...

What are you talking about?
If your question is I wanna shirt with a straight hem, then the existing high-point, i.e., the bottom of each side seam, is the longest you're able to go (tho it can be made shorter).
And not all straight-hemmed shirts are bowling shirts. They're called camp shirts, very popular in the 40s and 50s.​

The point of the picture is that it made just about as much sense as the original post.

That photo rules.
