skirts -- microskirts (girls only)

"By the end of the decade [the 60's/ 1970] the micro miniskirt demonstrates the extreme, a garment with a hemline one inch below the crotch and worn so high that seating without showing panties is functionally impossible. Or as critic James Brady writes in 1969, "Skirts had gone as high as they could architecturally go--any higher, and they would cease to be skirts and become blouses."
