Short Skirts - Bad Economy Trivia

We should have known it was coming! Not to be trite about it, but whenever the economy has been good, as in the 50s, women's skirts have been longer. Then they were about four inches below the knee. 

In the 20s "flapper days" skirts were short, very short, up to the Great Crash of 1929. 

So . . . we have been seeing some very short skirts in the past couple of years and we should have seen this coming!
