WHAT DOES MINIDRESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

minidress

Miniskirt

A miniskirt is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, generally halfway up the thighs – normally no longer than 10 cm below the buttocks; and a minidress is a dress with such a hemline. A micro-miniskirt or microskirt is a miniskirt with its hemline at the upper thigh, at or just below crotch level; and short shorts--often better known as hot pants and "Daisy Dukes"--are women's shorts with leg hemlines at the upper thigh. The popularity of miniskirts peaked in the "Swinging London" of the 1960s, but it is still commonplace among many women, especially teenagers, preteens, and young adults. Before that time, short skirts were only seen in sport and dance clothing, such as skirts worn by female tennis players, figure skaters, cheerleaders, and dancers.
