can a bias cut skirt be shortened?

I am interested in a skirt that is just a bit too long for me, made of 100% lined wool.
Whilst lined, the skirt isnt too chunky or thick, but I'm aware that the hem won't hang exactly like a non bias skirt, so will it be troublesome or just all in a days work for my lovely, talented local seamstress?

It annoys me that at an average height, many MIDI skirts are around 88cm long, which is ridiculous for anyone under 5'9. Why dont they just call them maxi's ffs??

A good seamstress will be able to shorten it.
