For a skirt with a full hem, the larger the hem, the more fabric you have to ease in. I don't think it will look good if you just try to turn up the hem as much as possible. I would suggest turning it up to fit you with a small hem or folding over the top at the waistband, as suggested. If you wanted to maintain the same fullness at the hem and do a truly professional job on it, you'd need to undo the seam where the lycra meets the chiffon, cut off the amount you want to take off the chiffon, re-gather and sew it back together. As the chiffon is probably shaped, you'd find you'd have more to gather into the lycra this way, too.
If you decide to cut off the bottom for a small hem, a taller person could possibly add trim to the hem to add length, although it will give a different look and make the hem stand away from the body more (as would a large hem BTW).
