Is the restriction against long skirts found anywhere in psak? I seem
to be finding the opposite.

Meshane Halachot 12,316. In response to a specific question about
wearing long skirts which are in "moda" the answer is "halevai veyelchu
kulam besmalot arucot"

Also, shu"t Shevet Halevi 5,75,2 is quite clear in his opinion that
shok is till the ankle - even exempting them from wearing garbayim!!!!
So where does this "rechovi" bit come in?

menucha

rechovi = something you see worn on the streets, in other words what's
"in" in the non-frum/non-Jewish world but not acceptable in chareidi
society, even if it is not tehnically un-tznius, such as when long,
long skirts sweeping the streets were "in".
