Bonjour Jaya,
In French, usually, adjectives that are considered "neutral" are usually placed after the word they refer to - une jupe longue - while adjectives that imply an opinion are placed before the noun they refer to - une nouvelle jupe.
So, after discussing this particular example with my other colleague, we both agree that none of these sentences are how we would express it. We would say:
Ce sont de nouvelles jupes longues.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
