Does full length have a hyphen?

"Full length" is not hyphenated when used as an adjective.

Here are some examples:

* Full-length mirror: This is hyphenated because it's used as a compound noun.

* She wore a full-length gown. This is hyphenated because it's used as a compound adjective.

* The movie was a full length film. This is not hyphenated because it's used as an adjective phrase.

Key Takeaway: Hyphenate "full length" when it acts as a compound adjective, but not when it acts as a simple adjective phrase.
