A baking pan, usually disposable.

Am I the only one who still uses a measuring tape? I think most dollar stores sell one, it's not an expensive item.

yeah... these solutions are for when you bought measuring tape in the dollar store already but your child thought it was 'cutting tape' and left you with one inch peices.

It's a rectangular foil baking tin. 9 by 13 is a standard cake size. A standard page of paper is 8 and a half by 11, so this is a bit bigger.

Can someone clarify in real English what the heck op is asking?
She wants to measure her skirt with a baking pan? only in wiilliamsburg? Can it really be that someone thinks it's only called 9x13 in her own neighborhood?

I live in williamsburg and never used a bekele to measure my skirt! I use a tape measure. most kallahs get a sewing box with most sewing supplies when they get married.
So either she's making fun of us williamsburg ladies or she simply lacks ideas

I don't think she is lacking ideas, just the opposite. She's innovative!

Well, as we all see on this site, many neighborhoods have their own "words" so to speak... and yes, I already had once that I spoke to a non heimishe and she didn't know what a 9by 13 pan is.
And I also know how many times I looked for one of my 3 tape measures and didn't find any... this idea is a very bright one, actually. Though Thanx to this thread I remembered using once a kitchen tile as square foot measure, and now I have the idea of a letter size sheet too.

I didn't know that measuring your skirts was a "thing"..... I've heard about the "4-inches below the knee" thing, but I think it's fairly easy to tell if a skirt is about that long without measuring it. So confused.... I understand that the OP meant this thread as a joke, but are you guys joking about some women measuring skirts? or serious?

If a random post with no personal info is hiding behind amother you know the intention was to be nasty or hurtful.

Sorry but I disagree. OP was concerned of those making fun of everyone. She simply didn't want to be the laughingstock on here. While I dont post here that often, I've used amother in the past for questions I felt were probably too simple for others.

I assumed she was sewing or something like that.

Or because you have no interest in outing your location so all your yenta neighbors scroll through your old posts to identify you.

How does a screen name reveal your location?

At first I also thought she was serious, but then I was thinking about the size of a 9x13 -- wouldn't that be extremely short!? (unless she meant from the knee down???)

Thanks all for your replies. I was too busy looking for my tape measure so I didnt see the rest of your your posts. Thanks for all who understood me. I needed to know if the online info that a skirt is 25 inches will be as good as the current skirt my daughter has. And I am a Williamsburg person and I lost my tape measure! Usually its in my purse so I have it when I shop etc. I dont know how the other williamsburg person felt offended. I am Williamsburg myself and did not mean to make fun. 2 bekelech 9*13 would be 26. I wanted to know if its the top rim or the bottom that is 13...I ended up not buying the skirt.

Crust, thanks for linking this thread. I laughed out loud with tears. Boy did I need this now.
OP, you are truly innovative! Love it. I use my floor tiles a lot for such purposes!
Sorry for bumping up an old thread, couldn’t resist!
