You look absolutely wonderful with this costume.
There is an easy way to make the skirt shorter:
I have the same costume, once i rented it for a tv program for an actress that is a few inches shorter than me. the way to shorten the skirt was to take in some chiffon under the part of the skirt that is opaque ( i hope your skirt is made the same way , I bought mine a few years ago).
When i took back the costume i undid the seem and got back the skirt to the original lenght. that is good if you want to resell your costume later on.

Thanks for the tip Palmier. Did your skirt have a ruched panel in the front? I wonder if taking it up as you described would make too much bulk on the front ruching, but I suppose I could try pinning it to see what it looks like. I may do that if nobody steps forward to buy this. It is a gorgeous costume. I'm also fairly talented at making my own skirts so I could take the costume with me to the fabric store to match something to it if I decide I can't shorten the existing skirt. I was thinking another chiffon circle skirt, or maybe satin.
