How long should the end woman’s garment be?

Sunan Ibn MajahHadith Number 3580

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَمْ تَجُرُّ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ ذَيْلِهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ شِبْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ إِذًا يَنْكَشِفَ عَنْهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ذِرَاعٌ لاَ تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about how long a woman’s hem should hang down. He said: ‘A hand span.’ I said: ‘But then (her legs and feet) will be uncovered.’ He said: ‘Then a forearm’s length, but no more than that.’”
