I would try a pencil over a pen. A pen requires consistent pressure to roll the ball to refresh the ink

put some yarn or string between a doorway at the height you want to mark, cover the string in chalk then you just bump against it! very old technique my grandma taught me when I was little

I am not sure what the timeline is here, but for future projects- there is a chalk puffer that is used for this exact purpose!

You've reinvented the hem marker stand. You can find vintage ones online. Its a little stand you set on the floor with a vertical stick that you set to your desired hem height. It's got a metal piece that helps you put in pins at a consistent height.

It took entirely too long for me to realize this was actual fabric and not clay.

Search caulk hem marker. This what your looking for. Stay away from pen ink tends to blend and come back an haunt you later.

Could you not stand in water to the length you want it to get the dress wet and then draw the line at the water line

The hem marker should be $20-$30. All you have to do is set the height, turn and squeeze the handle like a turkey baster, turn a bit, squeeze and repeat. Just becareful with the "disappearing inks". I've had washable and ones that were supposed to fade over time become permanent because they got to warm. Some heat erasable ones will reaper if they get cold enough again (coat zipper). As someone who has also spent love, sweat and tears on multiple projects. Almost failed home ec in 7/8th grade because I made a wedding dress instead of the pillow from scraps she wanted. Calculating and setting pleats by hand wasn't in her grade book among other things.😂

You need one of these. It used chalk dust to puff a dotted line on the skirt. My mom had one in the 70s

I think a marker would be better because it doesn’t need pressure. Also make the line lower than you need so you have wiggle room if something goes wrong.

You need more pressure on an ink been to draw on a dress, but this is the idea behind hem marker tools. I’d use a tailors chalk if you can
