I never wore a mini-skirt, per-se. But I had blue wool or knit dress, that was essentially mini-skirt length, with covered arms and with a high neck, but a large, prominent zipper down the middle. Guys seemed to notice that zipper a lot, as I recall. Still have it around somewhere. Would have been the early 70's.
Fashions are totally silly sometimes. They were then, they are now. Jeans are so comfortable. Wearing short, short skirts was definitely not comfortable (it was a strain to sit and keep the knees together). Marnie aka Doe :-) In a message dated 1/14/2014 6:53:07 A.M.

The shorts were safer than the mini skirts. ann On 1/13/2014 15:38, John wrote: > On 1/13/2014 2:15 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: >> JOhn - >> In the sixties I wore platform heels and hot pants to work in >> an office at General Electric whilst going to night school..
