Does the prohibition of Isbal (letting one's garment hang below the ankles) apply to women, especially if she wears a long garment to cover her feet during prayer?

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, permitted women to lengthen their garments by a cubit to prevent their feet from becoming uncovered. Scholars have unanimously agreed on the permissibility of isbal for them.
